Rohit has an impure copper plate and wants to purify it by electroplating. Using an electrolytic setup, he can do this by
- using the impure copper plate as the positive terminal electrode.
- using impure copper plate as the negative terminal electrode.
- breaking the impure copper plate into 2 halves and using them as electrodes.
- simply placing the impure copper plate in the electrolyte.
The process of depositing a layer of a desired metal on another material by means of electricity is called
Deposition of the metal takes place on which electrode during electroplating?
It is deposited at the electrode connected to the positive terminal of battery.
It is deposited at the electrode connected to the negative terminal of battery.
It is deposited at both the electrodes.
It depends on the concentration of the solution.
Sandeep wants to coat his wooden pencil with some metal to give it a shiny look using electricity. This can be done by
- electroplating using metal plate as the positive electrode and pencil as the negative.
- electroplating using metal plate as the negative electrode and pencil as the positive.
- cannot be done as wood is a non-conducting material.
- electrorefining using metal plate as one of the electrodes and pencil as other.
