Solution
- Inert electrode means an electrode that can not takes part in chemical reaction.
- Inert electrodes are used in electrolysis.
- For example : electrolysis of water.
- So, Platinum rod is an inert electrode.
- Whereas, Active electrode mean an electrode that takes part in chemical reaction.
- Active electrodes are used in electroplating.
- For example : silver plating on copper.
- So, Copper rod is an active electrode.
