Solution
- The method is called electroplating.
- Explanation:
a. Electroplating is the process in which a less reactive metal is coated on a more reactive metal by electrolysis.
b. It protects the object made of reactive metal from corrosion. c. It also improves the appearance of the object. - Silver plated spoons, gold plated ornaments are examples of electroplating.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a solid, A, are mixed with the powder of another solid, B. However when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products, C, is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product, D, floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.
