Question
Paheli wants to deposit silver on an iron spoon. She took silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution in a beaker and set up a simple circuit for electroplating. Which terminal of the battery should the spoon be connected to? What material should the other electrode be made of?

Solution
Spoon should be connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The other electrode should be made of silver, so that silver ions get deposited on an iron spoon.

In the circuit given as figure, Boojho observed that copper is deposited on the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Paheli tried to repeat the same experiment. But she could find only one copper plate. Therefore, she took a carbon rod as negative electrode. Will copper still be deposited on the carbon rod? Explain your answer.
