Definitions and equations for electrochemistry

Question	Answer
Electroplating	A process where electrolysis is used to put a layer of one metal on the surface of another
Electrochemical series	Is a list of elements in order of their standard electrode potentials
Displacement reaction	A reaction between metals where a high series metal is placed in a lower ones solution to extract it from its salt
Tendency to lose electrons in the series	decreases as you go down the series
Level of reactivity	decreases as you go down the series
reaction of magnesium and copper	Mg+CuSO4→MgSO4+Cu
Reaction of Iron and copper	Fe+CuSO4→FeSO4+Cu
Electrodeposition	The process of electroplating where the metal from a salt solution deposits onto a metal dipped into the solution
