Explanation:
the silver anode bar gives up electrons to become silver ions: 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.

to electroplate a spoon with silver , you have to connect the the spoon to cathode and a strip of pure silver in anode of the battery and dip it in AgNo3 solution or silver nitrate .
leave it for few hours undisturbed.
the particles of Ag starts to build up on spoon from the solution and solution take that At again from the pure silver strip.
hope this will help you
