... this is not at all obvious.
I
am thinking in terms of a model of a conductor described in textbooks.
That model states that excess charges, if any, exist only on surfaces,
and that they can be removed by momentary grounding.
What prevents me
from discharging (neutralizing) a metallic plate before immersing it
into an electrolyte?
A plate suspended by a nylon thread, for example,
can be lowered into a grounded metallic cavity (touching it from
inside) before being inserted into the acid.
