Question

How would you electroplate an iron spoon with copper? Describe with a diagram.

Answer 1

Here is the labelled Diagram.
in the electrical setup the iron spoon is made cathode (-veElectrode) and a thin sheet of pure copper is made an annode (positive electrode)
the electrolytic solution is an acidified solution of copper sulphate.

When electricity is passed through copper sulphate solution the copper metal gets dissolved in the solution and gets electroplated on the iron spoon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Process

1. Take a container with copper sulphate as electrolyte in it.

2. Make iron spoon as cathode and copper rod as anode by connecting a cell or battery.

3. When electric current is passed through the electrolyte then it dissociates into copper and sulphate ions.

4. Copper ion have positive charge.So,they will move towards cathode and get deposited on iron spoon.

5. Now copper from copper rod dissolve into and make the electrolyte stable.

In this way electrolyte is done.
