Question

What is electroplating ? How are steel spoons plated with silver

Answer 1

Answer:

In Silver plating, the object to be plated (eg. a spoon) is made from the cathode of an electrolytic cell. The anode is a bar of silver metal, and the electrolyte (the liquid in between the electrodes) is a solution of silver cyanide, AgCN ,in water.This produces a shinier and more adherent silver plating.
