Question

Identify the correct conditions for electroplating to take place (in K and in ATM).

(a) T=200 and P=20

(b) T=300 and P=25

(c) T=100 and P=60

(d) T=110 and P=30

I have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Electroplating Equipment and Operating Conditions in chapter Electroplating of Engineering Chemistry II

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) T=300 and P=25

Best explanation: For electroplating to take place, the temperature must be above 0 degree Celsius (that is above 273 kelvin) and the pressure must be atmospheric pressure. Thus the suitable temperature from the above options are T=300 and P=25.
