It is noticed that $\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}$ is more stable than $\mathrm{Pb}^{4+}$ but $\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}$ is less stable than $\mathrm{Sn}^{4+}$. Observe the following reactions. $\mathrm{PbO}_{2}+\mathrm{Pb} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{PbO} ; \Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{G}^{\circ}(1)$ $\mathrm{SnO}_{2}+\mathrm{Sn} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SnO} ; \Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{G}^{\circ}(2)$ Identify the correct set from the following
In a period, the first ionisation enthalpy of the element at extreme left and the negative electron gain enthalpy of the extreme right element, except noble gases, are respectively.
First and second ionization enthalpies of lithium are $520$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $7297$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ respectively. Energy required to convert $3.5$ mg lithium (g) into $\text{Li}^{2+}$(g) $[\text{Li(g)} \rightarrow \text{Li}^{2+}\text{(g)}]$ is _______ kJ mol$^{-1}$. (nearest integer) [Molar mass of Li $= 7$ g mol$^{-1}$]
