Table 1 shows the mass of the silver cathode and the appearance of the silver nitrate solution before and after an electrolysis experiment.
| Mass of cathode (g) | Appearance of silver nitrate solution | |
|---|---|---|
| Before electrolysis | 3.15 | Clear, colourless solution |
| After electrolysis | 3.48 | Clear, colourless solution |
Explain, in terms of ions, the change in mass of the cathode shown in Table 1.
