The anode and cathode when plating an iron nail with zinc :
anode : zinc
cathode : iron nail
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Electrolysis utilizes electrical energy to carry out non-spontaneous redox reactions. The ions in the solution flowed by an electric current
The electrolyzed substance is an electrolyte which can be in the form of a melt or a solution.
In the electrolytic cell the positive pole - the anode is the site of oxidation, whereas the negative pole - the cathode is the site of the reduction
Electrons (electricity) enter the electrolysis cell through the negative pole (cathode)
Electroplating is one of the applications of electrolysis. In the electroplating process, the metal to be plated as a cathode and the plating metal as an anode. Both electrodes are dipped in an electrolyte saline solution from the positive metal plating ion. In this electroplating process, the metal at the anode will oxidize and dissolve into metal ions. Then this ion will experience a reduction reaction and is deposited on the surface of the cathode.
The reaction that occurs in plating iron nail with zinc.
Cathode (Fe): Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---------> Zn (s)
Anode (Zn): Zn (s) ----------> Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
Zn (s) Anode -----> Zn (s) Cathode
The electrolyte used can be ZnCl₂
