    This document describes the process of electroplating copper onto an iron nail through electrolysis. [1] Copper acts as the anode and dissolves into copper ions and electrons, while the iron nail acts as the cathode. [2] The copper ions are attracted to the cathode and plate onto the iron nail when they meet electrons from the external circuit. [3] This process deposits copper from the anode onto the cathode, allowing other materials to be coated with copper through electrolysis.

    What happened ?

    Copper at the Anode broke up into

    Copper ion and 2Electron e-


    Cu 2+
    Anode: Copper Coper ion and 2 electrons
    Cu  Cu 2+ + 2e-

     +
    What happened ?

    The Copper ion Went through the solution


    Cu 2+ towards the nail Why???

    and 2Electron e-

    Went through the circuit


    What happened ?

    Copper ion When they arrived at the nail


    Cu 2+

    Meet 2Electron e-

    Cathode Cu 2+ + 2e-  Cu Which is deposited on the nail


    What happens
    • The Copper Anode is used up
    • The nail becomes covered in copper

    What uses could be made of this process?
