An aqueous solution of copper(II) bromide, CuBr2(aq)\text{CuBr}_2\text{(aq)}CuBr2(aq), is electrolysed using inert graphite electrodes.
What are the products formed at the cathode (negative electrode) and the anode (positive electrode) respectively?
copper at the cathode and bromine at the anode
hydrogen at the cathode and bromine at the anode
copper at the cathode and oxygen at the anode
hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode
