When fused PbBr2 is electrolyzed:
Correct answer: B. Lead is deposited at the cathode
- A. Bromine appears at the cathode
- B. Lead is deposited at the cathode
- C. Lead appears at the anode
- D. None of the given options
Explanation
Fused lead bromide undergoes electrolysis which means splitting of ions using electrical energy and movement to ions to respective electrodes. During the electrolysis process, Pb2+ ions gain electrons at the cathode and become Pb atoms.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
