Question

Statement I : Desferrioxime B  removes excess copper and iron from plants and animals
Statement II : Aqueous AgNO3  is the electrolyte used in the electroplating of articles with silver

Moderate
Solution

(I) … correct
II .. Simple salt solution of silver, AgNO3  when subjected to electrolysis deposit large quantities of “silver” at cathode which is to be electroplated. Thus it cannot be used for electroplating which requires a thin layer of silver coating.
KAgCN2 is selected an electrolyte. Ag+ ion is in the form of complex ,which when electrolysed deposits very small amounts of silver at cathode.
