QQuestion
Which of the following reactions takes place at the anode during the electroplating of an article with silver? [1]
- Ag − 1e− ⟶ Ag1+
- Ag + 1e− ⟶ Ag1−
- Ag − 1e− ⟶ Ag
- None of the above
✓Answer
a. Ag − 1e− ⟶ Ag1+
Explanation:
- During electroplating, the silver anode loses electrons.
- Silver atoms form Ag1+ ions in the solution.
Anode reaction:
Ag − 1e− ⟶ Ag1+
