The diagram shows a beaker containing a solution of zinc sulphate and two carbon electrodes. A battery is placed next to it. In order that the electrode P be plated with zinc,
A P must be connected to S and Q to R
B P must be connected to Q and S to R
C P must be connected to R and Q to S
D P and Q must be connected to R.
The answer would be a as znso4 wold breakdown into zn 2and so42-ions .the zn 2 would be attracted towards cathode(negative terminal) so p would be attached to negative terminal and therefore the answer is a.

In reactivity series hydrogen is below zinc and is less reactive than zinc. As hydrogen below zinc therefore will reduce more and earlier than zinc , hence will go to cathode and zinc will reduced or deposit at anode. therefore P will be connected to R and Q to S.hence ans is :C

i do feel that correct answer is A.as P has to be electroplated ,it must be on cathode(-ve).so,correct is =A

answer should be A, as hydrogen is not released at cathode if the other cation is Zinc or below in the electrochemical series

I will go mad with the number of wrong answers in this website.. answer should be a. For example when a spoon has to be electroplated with copper, copper is ALWAYS ON ANODE and the spoon is ALWAYS ON CATHODE. Why different logic is used here?
