Question

Mr. Ramu wants to electroplate his chain with Nickel to prevent rusting. For the electroplating.

1. Name the electrolyte

Answer 1

Electroplating is a process of coating superior metals on the surface of some inferior metals.

1. For electroplating a metal the process involved is electrolysis.
2. So an electrolyte is needed for the reaction and the electrolyte must contain the ions of metals.
3. For Nickel electroplating, the electrolyte used is Nickel sulfate ($\mathit{N}\mathit{i}\mathit{S}{\mathit{O}}_{\mathbf{4}}$)

Hence, Nickel sulfate is the electrolyte.
