Options
- A(i) and (iv)
- B(ii) and (iv)
- C(ii) and (iii)
- 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. Cl 0 2 ( g ) + 2 K I - 1 ( aq ) ⟶ 2 K C 0 l ( aq ) + I - 1 2 ( s ) In the above reaction different elements undergoing oxidation and reduction. Hence, It is not a disproportionation reaction. Cl 0 2 ( g ) + 2 OH - ( aq ) ⟶ Cl + 1 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
