Spoon, silver plating

Of the foregoing, the alloy termed Seconds is used as the basis in best silver-plate ware, namely, Al quality. It is also the constituent of nickel-silver table goods such as spoons and forks. 

An object can be plated by making it the cathode in a tank containing ions of the plating metal. The silver plating of a spoon is shown schematically in Fig. 11.24. In an actual plating process the solution also contains ligands that form complexes with the silver ion. When the concentration of Ag+ is lowered in this way, a smooth, even coating of silver is obtained. 

A spoon is plated with silver in an electrolytic process where the half reaction at the cathode is ... 

Describe how you might use an electrolytic cell to silver plate an iron spoon. 

A spoon was silver-plated electrolytically in a AgN03 solution, (a) Sketch a diagram for the process, (b) If 0.884 g of Ag was deposited on the spoon at a constant current of 18.5 mA, how long (in minutes) did the electrolysis take ... 

Electrolysis resulting in the deposition of a metal on an object is called electroplating. Such a process is often used for metal objects to protect them against corrosion or to enhance their attractiveness. Thus, eating utensils are silver-plated in an electrolytic cell by making the clean cutlery the cathode and a silver bar the anode in an aeneous potassium silver cyanide, KAg(CN)2/ solution. If 0.0137 g of silver is required to electroplate one spoon, how long must 0.93 amp of current be applied to electroplate 75 spoons ... 

A spoon was silver-plated electrolytically in an AgNOs solution. 

Electroplating, (a) Silver ions are reduced to metallic silver by electrolysis. The silver coats the spoon to be plated, (b) The Oscar statue is gold plated. 

A baby s spoon with an area of 6.25 cm2 is plated with silver from AgN03 using a current of 2.00 A for two hours and 25 minutes. 

If you wish to replate a silver spoon, would you make it the anode or cathode in a cell Use half-reactions in your explanation. How many moles of electrons are needed to plate out 1.0 gram of Ag ... 

Schematic of the electroplating of a spoon. The item to be plated is the cathode, and the anode is a silver bar. Silver is plated out at the cathode ...
