Which of the following reactions are disproportionation reactions?...
Which of the following reactions are disproportionation reactions?
\left(2\right)3{MnO}_{4}^{2 -} + 4{H}^{+} \to 2{MnO}_{4}^{-} + {MnO}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O
\left(4\right)2{MnO}_{4}^{-} + 3{Mn}^{2 +} + 2{H}_{2}O \to 5{MnO}_{2} + 4{H}^{+}$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
In disproportionation reaction, both oxidation and reduction of same chemical species occurs.
- Oxidation is gain in oxidation number.
- Reduction is loss in oxidation number.
Oxidation state of .
Oxidation state of .
Oxidation state of .
Here, is getting both reduced and oxidised.
Oxidation state of in .
Oxidation state of in .
Here, reduction is taking place.
Here in the reaction, is changing its oxidation state from to and . In both cases, reduction is occurring.
Here in the reaction, product with in only one, so there is no possibility of both oxidation and reduction reactions at the same time.
