Question

During electroplating, the electrolyte solution must contain the _________ of its compound.

• A. Metal
• B. Non metal
• C. Salt
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Metal

Correct option is A: Metal

Explanation:

1. Electroplating entails sending an electric current through an electrolyte solution.
2. When electricity passes through the circuit they create, the electrolyte splits, and some of the metal atoms in it are deposited in a thin layer on top of one of the electrodes, causing it to become electroplated.
3. During electroplating, the electrolyte solution must contain the metal of its compound.

Hence, option A is correct
