Can someone explain to me why does increasing the electrolyte concentration can increase the electroplating rate/or metal deposit...? Take copper sulphate as an example. Better explanation with pics...And just don't go too far beyond the Faraday's law and please try to explain it in a more 'Chemistry' way. Thanks!
Elecrtroplating is a process where metal pin are reduce in electrolytic cell and solid metal deposite on to a surface.
The concentration of cu2+ ions remains constant in electrolyte because concentration of electrolyte increase the amount of cu2+ ions. Hence when cu2+ in are get converted into cu (s) then due to increasing concentration of cu2+ in electrolyte the conc remain same and increase the metal deposite rate due to increasing the polarity in solution.
