Chapter 13, Problem 13.77PAE
Use the Internet to find electroplating companies that carry out silver plating. Popular impressions are that silver plating is mostly done for cosmetic reasons, making objects (like silverware) more attractive. Based on your Internet research, do you believe this popular impression accurately reflects the plating industry?

Explain why diamonds are useful for electrodes in batteries
We want to determine the purity of copper in the wires used for electrical cables. This can be done using an electrolysis device with platinum electrodes and the following procedure:
Weigh the electrodes and a piece of copper wire from a wire and record their mass.
Dissolve the copper metal (Cu) with a solution of relatively dilute HNO3 (aq).
Add hydrazine (N2H4) to the solution to give the solution a reducing agent better than H2O.
Place the solution in the electrolysis apparatus, immerse the electrodes in it and start transmitting electricity.
Copper metal (Cu) begins to deposit on one of the two electrodes. At the same time, we observe that gas bubbles are released from the solution.
When the reaction is complete, stop the passage of electricity, disconnect the electrode, to which Cu has been deposited, and after drying, weigh it.
From the difference in mass of the electrode and the known amount of Cu that we had dissolved, we calculate the purity of Cu.
(a) At which electrode is Cu…
