What are the benefits of electroplating?
What is this process called?
To which terminal of the battery should the spoon be connected?
Is the spoon the anode or the cathode?
Use the numeric keyboard in the answer section (to superscript/subscript) to write the formula of a suitable electrolyte that could be used in this process.
Which ions in the solution are attracted to the steel spoon? (use the numeric keyboard to superscript/subscript)
What happens to these ions when they reach the steel spoon?
The other electrode is a silver rod. What name is given to this type of electrode?
Explain the purpose of using a silver rod as an electrode in this process.
What two changes would you need to make if you wish to plate the spoon with copper instead of silver?
