Question

Create a diagram of your electroplating apparatus (an electrolytic cell). Then submit your drawing with the following terms labeled correctly. Or, beginning with the positive terminal of the battery and ending with the negative terminal of the battery, describe the path that the electricity takes and where each of the following occurs: anodecathodecopper stripbatterypositive terminalnegative terminalplace where oxidation occursplace where reduction occurselectrolyte solutioncoin (or nail)direction of electron flow

Answer 1

Please, look at the next drawing:

Electrolytic cell: Electrical energy is used to drive nonspontaneous redox reactions.

Oxidation half-reaction: Z- => Z + e- (anode)

Reduction half-reaction: Y+ + e- => Y (cathode)
