Question

Write an activity with your observation to explain electroplating of an object with copper

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electroplating uses a form of electrolysis in which the electrodes play a bigger role than just conducting the current.

Using electricity, you can coat the metal of one electrode with the metal of the other!

Jewelry and silverware can be silver- or gold-plated, while zinc is often used to coat iron to protect against rust. Professional electroplating requires specialized chemicals and equipment to make a high-quality coat, but in this project you can try your hand at a simple procedure that will transfer copper (a versatile, naturally-occurring metal) to a brass key.
