Question

Prepare a list of objects around you that are electroplated.

Answer 1

Hint: The general process of creating a metallic coating on another piece of metal is known as electroplating. Electroplating is a metal deposition process, the metal that is deposited becomes a part of the piece of metal that is deposited.

Complete step-by-step solution -
List of objects around us that are electroplated are,
Handlebar and rims of bikes
Utensils
Water Taps
Jewellery
Water pipes
Kitchen stoves
Door handles
Tin cans
Iron nails
Metal almirahs
Buckles of belts
Additional Information:
Chromium is used for electroplating handlebars of bicycles, rims of a cycle and bicycle also. It is done to give those items a shiny look and to prevent rusting.
On anode the metal that is to be deposited is placed and on cathode the metal on which electroplating is to be done is placed
Gold plated ornaments, ornaments made from cheaper metals are gold plated to give that a long lasting shiny look.
Iron items are coated with a layer of zinc to prevent them from rusting.
Tin is used to coat metal containers which store food items.
The process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin metallic coating on an electrode is known as Electroplating. Some of the metals used for electroplating are zinc, Chromium, Gold, silver

Note: In case of copper electroplating the anode is made up of copper, and the cathode is made up of metal on which copper will be deposited. The bath in which the process is carried out is made up of sulfuric acid.
