Cathode, or negative terminal of power supply
The item to be plated should be attached to the negative terminal of the battery.
according to me anode should be oxidizing electrode as oxidation reaction takes place on anode
When the active electrode is not in use, it should be placed in a designated safety holder or electrode stand to prevent accidental contact and ensure it remains sterile. This helps to minimize the risk of electrical shock and maintains the integrity of the electrode for future use. Always ensure the holder is stable and free from contaminants.
A rule of thumb is - the arc length should be the same as the diameter of the electrode. 3/32" electrode = 3/32" arc length. 1/8" electrode = 1/8" arc length etc. The thicker the electrode coating the shorter the distance from the end of the electrode to the work. Drag rods are contact rods. E-7024 is one.
Yes there should always be a disclaimer stating ththe piece is not real gold and that it is plated.
attached are the reports
you should add flygon,wailord,ninjask,gardivor,electrode
The electrode must be carefully rinsed.
Piggyback IV should be attached there.
The stamp SP should appear on most silver plated jewelry. Its designation may be hard to read without magnification tools.
KCl saturated with AgCl is used in the Silver-Silver chloride electrode because the presence of AgCl helps maintain a stable potential and ensures reproducibility of the electrode. The AgCl layer also provides a constant concentration of Ag+ ions at the electrode surface, which is essential for the electrode's performance in electrochemical measurements.
Perhaps a rephrasing of the question would help; I've never seen a hydrogen electrode so I don't know how it compares to zinc. The process being done would probably also help (are you electroplating or separating oxygen from hydrogen or ...?), as would the solution the electrodes are immersed in (does the solution react with zinc at room temperature, is it being used in a gas, ...?)
