Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2022
In order to electroplate spoon with silver, the arrangement of the electrolytic cell is?
A
the anode is a silver rod and the cathode is the spoon
B
the anode is the spoon and the cathode is a silver rod
C
the electrolyte is silver trioxonitrate(v)( solution and the cathode is a silver rod.
D
the electrolyte is silver trioxonitrate(v) solution and the anode is the spoon

Correct Option: A
The steel spoon to be coated with silver is the cathode of the electrolytic cell. The anode of the electrolytic cell is made of silver metal and the electrolyte used for electroplating silver on a spoon must contain silver ions (Ag + ), for example, silver nitrate (AgNO3) or silver cyanide (AgCN) dissolved in water.
