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.

Effect of concentration of electrolyte on cell potential?

The potential of a cell can decrease if the concentrations of the solutions are less than 1.0M.N.B. The standard conditions for a galvanic cell involve the concentration of the solutions being 1.0M.


Which part of a cell can be used as the site for electroplating?

The metal cathode of a cell can be used as the site for electroplating. It is where the metal ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced and deposited onto the surface of the cathode material.


How are specific conductance and equivalent conductance related to concentration of electrolyte?

Specific conductance is directly proportional to the concentration of electrolyte, while equivalent conductance is inversely proportional to the concentration of electrolyte. This is because specific conductance is the conductivity of a solution normalized to a unit concentration, while equivalent conductance is the conductivity of a solution containing one equivalent of the electrolyte.

Which electrolyte has the highest concentration in the intracellular fluid?

The electrolyte with the highest intracellular concentration would probably be considered to be sodium chloride (NaCl), or at least Na^+ cation.


Which solute an electrolyte or a non electrolyte has the greater effect on the boiling point when a given amount of each solute is dissolved in the same mass of water?

An electrolyte has a greater effect on the boiling point compared to a non-electrolyte when dissolved in water. This is because electrolytes break into ions in solution, increasing the number of particles and thus raising the boiling point more significantly through colligative properties compared to non-electrolytes which do not dissociate into ions.


What are the factors on which the current through an electrolyte depends?

The factors on which the current through an electrolyte depend are: (i) Nature of electrolyte (ii) Concentration of the solution (iii) Temperature


Should the object on which electroplating is being done be anode or the cathode?

The object being electroplated should typically be the cathode. This is because during electroplating, metal ions in the electrolyte solution are attracted to the cathode where they get reduced and deposit onto the surface of the object.
