PbO2 PbO; G298 < 0
SnO2 SnO; G298 > 0
Most probable oxidation state of Pb and Sn will be
SnO2 SnO; G298 > 0
Most probable oxidation state of Pb and Sn will be
- APb4+, Sn4+
- BPb4+, Sn2+
- CPb2+, Sn2+
- DPb2+, Sn4+

Correct answer: D
PbO2 → PbO
Pb has +4 oxidation state In PbO2.
Pb has +2 oxidation state In PbO.
Here G is negative that is why reaction is spontaneous and
Pb4+ reduces Pb2+ thus, Pb2+ is most probable
oxidation state of Pb.
SnO2 SnO;
Sn has +4 oxidation state In SnO2.
Sn has +2 oxidation state In SnO.
G is positive that is why reaction is not spontaneous
thus, +4 oxidation state of Sn is more stable as it does
not change to +2 oxidation state spontaneously.
