A solution of silver nitrate is a good electrolyte but it is not used for electroplating an article with silver. Why?

Q. (a) A solution of silver nitrate is a good electrolyte but it is not used for electroplating an article with silver.
(b) Identify the following reactions as either oxidation or reduction:
(i) O + 2e⁻ $\stackrel{}{\to }$ O²⁻
(ii) K − e⁻ $\stackrel{}{\to }$ K⁺
(iii) Fe³⁺ + e⁻ $\stackrel{}{\to }$ Fe²⁺

Q. Give reasons why :
(i) Sodium Chloride will conduct electricity only in fused or aqueous solution state.
(ii) In the electroplating of an article with silver, the electrolyte sodium argento-cyanide solution is preferred over silver nitrate solution.
(iii) Although copper is a good conductor of electricity, it is a non-electrolyte.

Q. In silver electroplating, silver nitrate is used as a :

Q. Assertion :Silver nitrate is used as the electrolyte in silver electroplating. Reason: An electrolytic solution is a liquid or gel which contains ions and can be decomposed by electrolysis.

Q.

Silver is the best conductor of electricity can you say why electric wires are not made up of silver?

(Could you please check my answer)

Ans: Though silver is a good conductor of heat but it is not used in making electric wire as it is very expensive .silver is a noble metal and it is used in making jewelry it is also used in electroplating and in making high Value coins that is why silver is not used in making electric wires
