Question

Discuss the similarities and differences between electro-refining of copper and copper plating of a bracelet? Electrolytic diagrams should be included

Answer 1

in electro-refining - the copper ore and pure copper are kept at the electrodes. The electrolytic solution is some salt of Cu (like CuSO4). The copper ions from the anode(Cu ore) move to the pure Cu at the cathode via CuS04 solution
In electroplating pure cu from anode move to the bracelet at the cathode

Answer 2

thankx but what are the similarities ?

Answer 3

Both are electrolytic processes........in which ions move in an ionic solution from one electrode to the other.

Answer 4

Both involve a salt (ionic solution) of Cu.........

Answer 5

In copper refining purification of Cu takes place while in electroplating a layer of Cu is deposited over another substance. Both is done by the same electrolysis process,

Answer 6

thank you
