Select the correct answer from the list given in brackets :
During silver plating of an article using potassium argentocyanide as an electrolyte, the anode material should be (Cu, Ag, Pt, Fe).

A

Cu

B

Ag

C

Pt

D

Fe

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As Ag has no mobile electrons in solid-state, and an electrolyte should dissociate into oppositely charged ions to conduct electricity, therefore, Ag is a non-electrolyte.
