Electrons are valence and free moving so they take place in charge transfer
Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:
1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.
2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.
3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.
If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.
You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.
I think it’s the first one. Electroplating means you put on a layer of metal on something.
