Which of the following will be applied when a metal Y is used to electroplate another metal X in electrolysis?
A. X is the anode and very high current is used B. X is the anode and Y is the cathode C. Y is the cathode and X is the anode D. Y is the anode and very high current is used
Correct Answer: 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
