Q. a) In the electrolytic refining of copper what would you take as an anode, cathode and electrolyte?
b) It is said that the electrolytic refining of copper is economic. Why?

Q.

In general, electrolytic refining is a process of purification of impure metal during which an electric current is passed through an electrolytic cell which contains impure metal as anode, a suitable electrolyte and pure metal as cathode.

Q. Question 38
During extraction of metals, electrolytic refining is used to obtain pure metals.
(a) Which material will be used as anode and cathode for refining of silver metal by this process?
(b) Suggest a suitable electrolyte also.
(c) In this electrolytic cell, where do we get pure silver after passing electric current?

Q. Assertion :In electrolyte refining of metal, impure metal is made cathode while a strip of pure metal is used as anode. Reason: The pure metal gets deposited at anode as anode mud.
