Which of the following will be applied when a metal Y is used to electroplate another metal X in electrolysis?
- X is the anode and very high current is used
- X is the anode and Y is the cathode
- Y is the cathode and X is the anode
-
Y is the anode and very high current is used
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Metals and hydrogen are deposited at the cathode, while non-metals and oxygen are deposited on the anode∴ metals Y will form the anode which is deposited at the cathode made of x
