1.53 describe experiments to investigate electrolysis, using inert electrodes, of molten salts such as lead(II) bromide and predict the products

Inert electrodes are ones that don't react with any other substances, but only play a role in the transfer of electrons.

To describe an experiment you need to be able to draw and label an electrolysis experiment. As an example:

Lead bromide will make lead and bromine, you can use chemical tests to see is you got these products from electrolysis.
