Q. Why electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a redox reaction?

Give reasons for the following :

(a) Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a reaction in which oxidation and reduction go side, i.e., a redox reaction.

(b) The blue colour of aqueous copper sulphate fades when it is electrolysed using platinum electrodes.
