Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to describe the role of each component (anode, cathode, electrolyte, power supply) in the silver electroplating process.
Students will be able to demonstrate the correct step-by-step procedure for electroplating a metal object with silver using the virtual lab setup.
Students will be able to analyze the visual changes occurring at the electrodes during the electroplating process to infer the underlying principles of electrochemistry.
