Best Answer

When electroplating metal ions (e.g. Chromium) are deposited as metal at the cathode. The metal ion is reduced. The concentration of chromium ion drops as a result.

Is vinegar strong electroyte or weak electroyte or non electroyte?

Vinegar is a weak electrolyte because it is a dilute aqueous solution and has a low concentration of ions.More informationAn electrolyte is said to be concentrated when it has a high concentration of ions. The electrolyte is said to be diluted when it has a low concentration of ions.


How is electroplating done?

the metal on which electroplating is to be done is taken as cathode ( negative electrode) . the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as anode ( positive electrode) and the salt solution of the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as electrolyte . example- if we want to electroplate iron with copper then iron is taken as cathode and copper is taken as anode and electrolyte is copper sulphate.Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes. This is done through the use of copper in a copper sulfate bath.


How does the percentage of ionization change with its concentration?

The percent ionization of a weak electrolyte upon dilution is increased. This is in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle. Dilution causes the reaction to shift in the direction of the larger number of particles to counter the effect of the decreasing concentration.
