Question

The Electrolyte contains lead ions (Pb2+) and bromide ions (Br-)

Answer 1

Answer:

Molten lead bromide, PbBr 2(l), is an electrolyte. During electrolysis: Pb 2+ ions gain electrons at the cathode and become Pb atoms. Br - ions lose electrons at the anode and become Br atoms, which pair up to form Br 2 molecules

Answer 2

Explanation:

The electrolyte molten lead(II) bromide PbBr2(l), provides a high concentration of lead(II) ions Pb2+ and bromide ions Br– to carry the current during the electrolysis process.
