Question

PbO2 is stronger oxidizing agent than SnO2. Explain

Open in App

Solution

This is because in case of Sn +4 oxidation state is more stable as compared to +2 oxidation state. But in case of Pb due to more dominant effect of inert pair effect +2 oxidation state is more stable and hence Pb⁺⁴ gets converted into Pb⁺² easily and acts as a good oxidizing agent.
