In the process of electroplating with chromium, the negative electrode can be a carbon rod.
Can carbon rod be electroplated with carbon using carbonic acid as an electrolyte?
Assertion: Upal observed that copper is deposited on the negative electrode connected to the terminal of the battery. Kavya performed the same experiment but she replaced the copper electrode with a carbon electrode and still observed copper is deposited over carbon rod.
Reason: Copper sulphate solution dissociates into copper and sulphate ions when electricity is passed through dilute copper sulphate solution and this free copper ions deposit on the carbon rod.
