Which of the following is only a redox reaction but not a disproportionation reaction?

Options

  1. A4H3PO3→3H3PO4+PH34 \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3 \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4+\mathrm{PH}_3
  2. B2H2O2→2H2O+O22 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_2
  3. CP4+3NaOH+3H2O→3NaH2PO2+PH3\mathrm{P}_4+3 \mathrm{NaOH}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{NaH}_2 \mathrm{PO}_2+\mathrm{PH}_3
  4. DP4+8SOCl2→4PCl3+2S2Cl2+4SO2\mathrm{P}_4+8 \mathrm{SOCl}_2 \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{PCl}_3+2 \mathrm{ S}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2+4 \mathrm{SO}_2

Correct answer

D. P4+8SOCl2→4PCl3+2S2Cl2+4SO2\mathrm{P}_4+8 \mathrm{SOCl}_2 \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{PCl}_3+2 \mathrm{ S}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2+4 \mathrm{SO}_2

Step-by-step solution

The reaction P4+8SOCl2→4PCl3+2S2Cl2+4SO2\mathrm{P}_4+8 \mathrm{SOCl}_2 \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{PCl}_3+2 \mathrm{ S}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2+4 \mathrm{SO}_2 involves change of oxidation state of P from 0 to +3 and that of SS from +4 to +2. Thus, it is a redox reaction but not a disproportionation reaction.
