AI Generated Solution

To understand why the electrolysis of molten lead bromide (PbBr2) is considered a redox reaction, we can break down the process step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Electrolysis Electrolysis is a chemical process that uses electricity to drive a non-spontaneous reaction. In this case, we are using electricity to decompose molten lead bromide into its constituent elements. ### Step 2: Setting Up the Electrolytic Cell In an electrolytic cell, we have two electrodes: an anode (positive electrode) and a cathode (negative electrode). When molten lead bromide is placed in the cell, it dissociates into lead ions (Pb²⁺) and bromide ions (Br⁻). ...
