1.53 Describe experiments to investigate electrolysis, using inert electrodes, of molten salts such as lead(II) bromide and predict the products

Figure 1

  • Set up the apparatus in figure 1
  • The lead (metal) will be attracted to the negative cathode where it will gain electrons
  • The bromine (non metal) will be attracted to the positive anode where it will lose electrons
  • Lead and bromine formed
  • Yay
Inert electrodes don't react with other substances - only play a role in electron transfer and you need to be able to draw that apparatus. Good luck, padawan.
