Which of the statement is false in the context of chromium planting? Chromium is used for electroplating because Correct Answer It has a dull appearance

Explanation:

  • Electroplating is the process of coating the thin layer of metals with desired metal to resist rust.
  • Chromium metal has a shiny appearance.
  • It is used for electroplating so that it does not corrode and resist scratches over the objects.
  • It does not corrode easily as it is not very reactive with oxygen and gives a lustrous appearance.
  • Chromium is expensive and it may not be able to make the whole object out of chromium.
  • The object is made from a cheaper metal and only a coating of chromium over it is deposited.

Thus, the false statement in the context of chromium plating is that it has a dull appearance.

Additional Information

Other processes:​

1. Galvanizing

A thin layer of zinc is applied to prevent the corrosion of iron or steel.

2. Tinning

A layer of molten tin is deposited on metals.

3. Anodization

Metals like copper, and aluminum are coated with a thin and strong layer of their oxides using electrolysis.

4. Electroplating

A less reactive metal is coated on a more reactive metal by electrolysis.

5. Alloying

The homogenous mixture formed by mixing metal with other metals or non-metals in a certain proportion is called an alloy.

6. Pickling

Removing layers of basic oxides from metals before electroplating.

7. Poling

Poling is a method used to purify metals that have oxidized impurities
