Question

Write the difference between electro-plating and electro-refining during electrolysis of electrolytic cells .

Answer 1

Answer:

Electroplating is the process in which a noble metal is usually deposited on the surface of a metal to prevent rusting. In the process the metal to be electroplated is made cathode and a soluble salt of the sacrifice metal is taken as electrolyte. By applying current, the sacrifice metal deposited on the surface of the metal in the form of layers and thus prevent rusting.

Electrolysis is the process in which redox reaction is induced when current is passed through an electrolyte in the form of solution or in molten state. Basically both electroplating and electrolysis are redox reactions taking place in electrolytic cell
