★ ELECTROPLATING


→ COATING OF ANOTHER LAYER ON A METAL SO THAT IT DOES NOT RUST ....


AS U CAN SEE COPPER'S ELECTROPLATING IS USUALLY DONE ON IRON BUT NOT ON SILVER ... BECAUSE SILVER IS ALSO USED IN DEPOSITION ON OTHER METAL ... MOREOVER COPPER CAN CAUSE STERLING SILVER TO TARNISH . ..

Answer 2

An electroplating of copper is made on iron rather than silver plating as :
• silver gets a thick layer of H2S ( hydrogensulphide) .

• And silver is costly than copper.
