Question

what is electroplating?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electroplating is the coating of an object with a metal. ... The metal bar dissolves in the solution and plates out on the object, forming a thin but durable coating of metal. It is often used to gold-plate objects for decoration or to stop corrosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of the desired metal onto a metal item using an electric current.

Explanation:

• Electroplating is used to protect metals against corrosion and to add a decorative touch.
• Electroplating is a common procedure in a variety of sectors, including vehicles, aeroplanes, electronics, jewelry, and toys.
• An electrolytic cell is used for electroplating. The cathode is linked to the metal to be electroplated. The electrolyte is a salt solution of metal with which electroplating must be carried out. The electrolyte ionises, releasing positively charged ions (metal ions) that travel towards the anode, electroplating the target object.
