32 of 48 After learning about electrolytic cells, a student tries to copper-plate a metal spoon using a 1.00 M CUSO4 solution and 9V battery. However, instead of getting plated with copper, the spoon turns black and frothy white bubbling covers its surface. Which explanation is most likely the case? standard conditions were not maintained the electrodes were connected in reverse the salt bridge was left out the voltage was too high
