Question
**Question 10:** In the context of pacemaker batteries using the chemical reaction \(2\text{Li} + \text{I}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{LiI}\) to discharge, identify the positive electrode.

**Options:**

A. Li electrode  
B. I\(_2\) electrode  
C. No electrode needed  
D. Either side  

**Explanation:**

The given chemical equation represents the reaction in lithium-iodine batteries, commonly used in pacemakers. The positive electrode in such batteries is typically the iodine (\(I_2\)) electrode, as iodine is reduced during the reaction, accepting electrons and forming lithium iodide (\(LiI\)). 

Therefore, the correct answer is B. I\(_2\) electrode.
