What are the uses of electroplating in your daily life?
This is a process that lets us use metals to an advantage everyday. Electrical connectors often use electroplating along with the equipment used in radio frequencies.
What is a common electroplating solvent?
The solvents used to dissolve plating metals often were highly toxic. Cyanide, for example, was a commonly used solvent.
Why is electrolysis used to extract certain metals?
Electrolysis can be used for the following purposes:Electroplating a baser metal with a more attractive metal. e.g. electroplating brass with goldRefining of impure metals. e.g. to remove impurities from copperElectrometallurgy - to extract metals from their compounds
How shunt generators used in electroplating?
A shunt generator is used to provide electrons (electrical energy) to the electroplating machine.
The process of coating iron to prevent it from rusting is?
Bluing (eg firearms), galvanizing (Zinc coating), electroplating with cadmium, brass or other protective metals, and paint are coatings used to prevent rust.
Cite practical applications of electrolysis?
to separate metal from ore for the purpose of electroplating separation of useful metals using electochemistry
