In electroplating the anode becomes part of
the reaction taking place.
Anode A block of pure silver is attached at the
Cathode anode.
What is the half equation at the anode?
___________________________________
Why do the cations travel to the cathode?

RULE: At the cathode, the least reactive element is ____________________________________

What is the half
produced. (There are only 4 metals less reactive than __________________________________
equation at the anode if
hydrogen. These are Cu, Ag, Au, Pt)
Oxygen is produced? What is the half equation at the cathode?
