Rohan wants to coat his magic stick made of carbon with copper. He takes a battery, a container filled half with copper sulphate solution, a copper plate and his magic stick. But he is confused about which terminal of the battery to connect to the copper plate and which terminal to his magic stick. What should he do?
Electroplating:
Cathode: The cathode is the electrode where the electrochemical reduction reaction occurs.
Anode: The anode is the electrode where the electrochemical oxidation reaction occurs.
