The electrolyte used for electroplating ...

The electrolyte used for electroplating an article with silver is :

A

Silver nitrate solution

B

Silver cyanide solution

C

Nickel sulphate solution

D

Sodium argentocyanide solution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The displacement of `Ag_+` ions is slow as compared to `AgNO_3`. Therefore the coating is smooth, due to which deposition of silver is maintained in the article.
