Why During Electroplating The Article To Be Plated Is Always Made The Cathode?

Yes. Electrons will be transferred from the negative cathode to the dissolved metal ions (eg. Ag+ ) in order to let them 'plate' as metal element (eg. Ags ) set to the surface of conductive anode.

The metal being used as the cathode
Why should copper sulphate solution be acidified during copper electroplating?
to transfer anode to cathode
What is always true during the operation of a voltaic cell?
The correct answer is Electrons flow away from the anode and also Oxidation occurs at the anode.
Which metal gets coated during electroplating?
The cathode gets coated during electroplating.
Does anode lose weight and cathode increase in electroplating?
yes, the weight of anode is decreased & added to the weight of the cathode during electroplating

Why should copper sulphate solution be acidified during copper electroplating?
to transfer anode to cathode
What is the importance of DC current flow instead of AC during electroplating process?
Electroplating involves moving metal from one electrode to another, through a conductive solution. Typically a metal at the anode will lose an electron, become dissolved in solution, and then move in the solution towards the cathode. Once reaching the cathode, the metal ion gains electron(s) and is thus deposited at the cathode. With AC, the metal ions would just move back and forth in the solution, generating heat but no electroplating.

In industry cyanide are widely used during?
The extraction of gold and in electroplating of metals.
What will be the products on cathode and anode during electrolysis of the solution of magnesium sulphate?
Cathode - Hydrogen Anode - Oxygen
Which metal acts as the cathode during silver plating?
Cathode, as the fork attracts silver cations (+ ions)
