Question

if we place a carbon rod in the positive terminal and a copper rod in the negative terminal of a battery during electroplating, what will happen? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

carbon is reactive than copper and when electricity is passed through it the carbon replaces the copper ions and deposits on the negative electrode. Thus a red brown layer of copper metal will be deposited on the carbon rod connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPS YOU.

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, copper from the copper sulphate solution will be deposited on the carbon rod. Copper from the copper plate will be dissolved into the copper sulphate solution for electroplating.
