Question

Electrolytic refining is the method used to refine impure metals. In the process of electrolytic refining, a solution of the metal salt is used as electrolyte.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In the process of electrolytic refining of a metal, a solution of the metal salt is used as an electrolyte because the metal ions from the anode (impure metal) dissolve into the solution and the equivalent amount of pure metal gets deposited onto the cathode which is a pure metal strip.
