                                      \[Pb{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}PbO\,\,\Delta {{G}_{298}}<0\]                 \[Sn{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}SnO\,\,\Delta {{G}_{298}}>0\]                 Most probable oxidation state of Pb and Sn will be:                                                                        

    A)                 \[P{{b}^{4+}},\,S{{n}^{4+}}\]     

    B)                 \[P{{b}^{4+}},\,S{{n}^{2+}}\]     

    C)                 \[P{{b}^{2+}},\,S{{n}^{2+}}\]     

    D)                 \[P{{b}^{2+}},\,S{{n}^{4+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[Pb{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}PbO\]                 \[\Delta G_{298}^{{}}<0\]                 For this reaction \[\Delta G\] is negative, hence \[P{{b}^{2+}}\] is more stable than \[P{{b}^{4+}}\].                 \[Sn{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}SnO\Delta G_{298}^{{}}>0\]                 For this reaction \[\Delta G\] is positive, hence \[S{{n}^{4+}}\] is more stable than \[S{{n}^{2+}}\]. .               because for spontaneous change \[\Delta G\] must be negative.
