Which of the following reactions are disproportionation reaction?(a) (b) (c) (d) Select the correct option from the following:
- A(a) and (b) only
- B(a), (b) and (c)
- C(a), (c) and (d)
- D(a) and (d) only
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
A disproportionation reaction is one where the same element in a single oxidation state is simultaneously oxidized and reduced.(a) () goes to (, oxidation) and (, reduction). Yes.(b) in () goes to in (oxidation) and in (reduction). Yes.(c) This is thermal decomposition. () goes to and (reduction only). Not disproportionation.(d) Comproportionation: and both go to . Opposite of disproportionation.
