Question

how will electroplating on a copperspoon with silver​

Answer 1

Answer:

In silver plating, the object to be plated (e.g., a spoon) is made from the cathode of an electrolytic cell. ... Thus, the anode bar gradually dissolves to replenish the silver ions in the solution. The net result is that silver metal has been transferred from the anode to the cathode, in this case the spoon.

Answer 2

Answer:-

Main Aim:

To electroplate the copper spoon with silver.

Materials Required:

1. A plate of Silver (Ag)
2. Copper Spoon.
3. Battery (Containing 4 cells of 9V each)
4. Glass Beaker (Size - Big)
5. Silver Nitrate salt (AgNo3)
6. Switch

Procedure:

• Make a circuit as per the attachment.
• In this activity, we can see, silver plate is the anode and copper spoon is the cathode.
• Here, silver nitrate is used as the electrolyte.
• Turn on the Circuit.
• Then, the electricity flows from the circuit.
• When electric current flows through the set up, pure Silver from anode disassociated and gets deposited in the copper spoon, i.e. Cathode.
• Hence, we got the electroplated copper spoon.
