what kind of chemical reaction take place when electric current is passed through lead bromide?

Open in App

Solution

When electric current is passed through lead bromide (PbBr₂),a decomposition reaction will occur (as shown):

$P b B r_{2} (l) \to P b (s) + B r_{2} (g)$

Here lead bromide is taken in liquid state by melting it,because,we cannot pass electricity to a solid sample.
