Question

explain why copper chloride solution would not be used as an electrolyte in the electrolyte cell used for copper plating??

Answer 1

Explanation:

The electrolyte copper(II) chloride, provides a high concentration of copper(II) ions Cu2+ and chloride ions Cl– to carry the current during the electrolysis process.

The tiny traces of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH–) from water, would not normally be discharged at the electrodes in this investigation.

Hope it helps you
