Lead(II) bromide, PbBr₂, is electrolysed using inert electrodes as shown (molten, heated, with a bulb in the circuit).
- aWhat happens to the brightness of the bulb when heating is stopped? Give a reason for your answer. [3]
- bSuggest another substance that can be used instead of lead(II) bromide to cause the flow of current. [1]
You'll mark your own answer against the marking guide when you hand it in.
