alleryA plating cell has an inert anode. What needs replenishing?
AWater molecules at the cathode
BMetal atoms at the anode
CMetal ions in the bath
DElectrons in the bath
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Metal ions in the bath
An inert anode does not supply coating-metal ions, so the ions removed by deposition need replenishment.
