Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2024
What would be the order of the electrolytic cell in an industry intending the production of silver plated spoons?
A
Cathode is the spoon; anode is a silver rod; electrolyte is a soluble silver salt
B
Cathode is a silver rod; anode is the spoon; electrolyte is a soluble silver salt
C
Cathode is the spoon; anode is any rod; electrolyte is a soluble silver salt
D
Cathode is any rod; anode is the spoon; electrolyte is a soluble salt
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
In electroplating:
- Cathode: Spoon (where reduction occurs, silver is deposited).
- Anode: Silver rod (provides Agāŗ ions).
- Electrolyte: Soluble silver salt (e.g., AgNO3) providing Agāŗ ions.
