Question

Which of the following reactions takes place at the anode during the electroplating of an article with silver?

Options

• \[\ce{Ag - 1e^{-} -> Ag^{1+}}\]

• \[\ce{Ag + 1e^{-} -> Ag^{1-}}\]

• \[\ce{Ag - 1e^{-} -> Ag}\]

• None of the above

Answer 1

\[\ce{Ag - 1e^{-} -> Ag^{1+}}\]

Explanation:

Because oxidation take place at the anode, e^– loss takes place there.
