Because if electrolyte of other solution is used then that metal will be deposited on the electrode and we won't get the desired metal

how???
plzzz explain
in the electrolyte the metal and nonmetal ions like sulfate ions are separated
the metal then is deposited on the cathode
if the metal on cathode is different then what will get may be an alloy
