Electroplating is an important application of electrolytic cells with commercial implications. Copper may be plated using an electrolytic cell with an aqueous acidified copper(II) sulfate electrolyte. For the copper plating of tin to make jewellery, state the half-equation at each electrode.

Assume the tin electrode is inert. Suggest two observations that you would be able to make as the electroplating progresses.
