Q. Consider the following statements about electroplating:
I. Electroplating is the coating of metal objects with a thin layer of a different metal.
II. Electroplating makes objects look more attractive and protects them from corrosion and rusting.
III. Electroplating forms and envelops around the object to protect them from magnetism.
Which of the above statements is true ?

(a) Which effect of electric current is utilised when a thin layer of chromium metal is deposited on an iron tap? What is this process known as?
(b) For electroplating copper on an iron object, which terminal of the battery (positive or negative) is connected to the iron object? Also, name the electrolyte you will use for this purpose.

Q) Instead of taking the trouble of electroplating metals with chromium for making car parts , taps , cycle parts , etc., why are these objects not made up of chromium itself ?

A) This is because chromium is a very expensive metals . It is a metal which does not rust is resistant from scratches and has a shiny appearance . If we use chromium it will be a huge loss and it also be wastage of the resource chromium thus it is preferable to use chromium only for electroplating objects.

Could you please check my answer and give inputs.

For P, Q, R and S are all obtained by the reduction of their oxides with carbon. Metal P is used to form a thin layer over the sheets of metal S to prevent its corrosion. Metal Q is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S whereas metal P, Q, R and S? How have you arrived at this conclusion?

Why do we use chromium metal for electroplating over objects made of cheaper metals?
