From the given reactions identify the disproportionation reaction
i) Cl2(g)+2KI(aq)⟶2KCl(aq)+I2(s){Cl}_{2} ( g ) + 2KI ( aq ) ⟶ 2KCl ( aq ) + {I}_{2} ( s )
ii) Cl2(g)+2OH−(aq)⟶ClO−(aq)+Cl−(aq)+H2O(l){Cl}_{2} ( g ) + 2{OH}^{-} ( aq ) ⟶ {ClO}^{-} ( aq ) + {Cl}^{-} ( aq ) + {H}_{2}O ( l )
iii) Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)⟶MgCl2(aq)+H2(g)Mg ( s ) + 2HCl ( aq ) ⟶ {MgCl}_{2} ( aq ) + {H}_{2} ( g )
iv) 2H2O2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+O2(g)2{H}_{2}{O}_{2} ( aq ) ⟶ 2{H}_{2}O ( l ) + {O}_{2} ( g )

Options

  1. A(i) and (iv)
  2. B(ii) and (iv)
  3. C(ii) and (iii)
  4. D(i) and (ii)

Correct answer

B. (ii) and (iv)

Step-by-step solution

The reaction in which one reactant gets oxidized, and the same reactant gets reduced is known as disproportionation reaction.&

Cl02(g)+2KI−1(aq)⟶2KC0l(aq)+I−12(s)\overset{0}{Cl}2 ( g ) + 2K\overset{- 1}{I} ( aq ) ⟶ 2K\overset{0}{C}l ( aq ) + \overset{- 1}{I}2 ( s )

In the above reaction different elements undergoing oxidation and reduction. Hence, It is not a~disproportionation reaction.~

Cl02(g)+2OH−(aq)⟶Cl+1O−(aq)+Cl−(aq)+H2O(l)\overset{0}{Cl}2 ( g ) + 2{OH}^{-} ( aq ) ⟶ \overset{+ 1}{Cl}O^{-} ( aq ) + {Cl}^{-} ( aq ) + {H}_{2}O ( l )

In the above reaction chlorine is undergoing oxidation as well as reduction.~Hence, It is a disproportionation reaction.~

Mg0(s)+2H+1Cl(aq)⟶Mg+2Cl2(aq)+H02(g)\overset{0}{Mg} ( s ) + 2\overset{+ 1}{H}Cl ( aq ) ⟶ \overset{+ 2}{Mg}{Cl}_{2} ( aq ) + \overset{0}{H}2 ( g )

In the above reaction magnesium is undergoing oxidation and hydrogen ion undergoing reduction.~Hence, It is not a~disproportionation reaction.~

2H2O−12(aq)⟶2H2O−2(l)+O02(g)2{H}_{2}\overset{- 1}{O}2 ( aq ) ⟶ 2{H}_{2}\overset{- 2}{O} ( l ) + \overset{0}{O}2 ( g )

In the above reaction peroxide is undergoing oxidation as well as reduction.& Hence, It is a disproportionation reaction.&
