Electrolysis of molten PbBr2 with carbon electrode

   Anode: 2Br- --> Br2 +2e
   Cathode: Pb2+ + 2e --> Pb
   Overall:
Option 1: Pb2+ + 2Br- --> Pb + Br2

or

Option 2: PbBr2 --> Pb + Br2
   
Which is your answer???

Only Option 1 is accepted.  Normally, during writing overall equation, we combine both the half-equation by cancel out the electrons.  If both half-equation have unequal number of electrons, we must make their number of electrons equal by multifly with a coefficient...
