A metal bromide, MBr2, is converted to a molten form at high temperature. Electrolysis of this sample with a current of 5.00 A for 50.0 seconds results in deposition of 0.0847 g of metal M at the cathode. The other product is bromine gas, Br2(g), which is released at the anode. Determine the identity of metal M.   (MTS 7/21/2020)

Standard reduction potentials are -3.05 V for the Li+(aq)/Li(s) couple, -0.13 V for Pb2+(aq)/Pb(s), -2.93 V for K+(aq)/K(s), -0.81 V for H2O(l)/H2(g), and -2.90 V for Ba2+(aq)/Ba(s).
