  2. B(2),(3),(4)\left(2\right), \left(3\right), \left(4\right)
  3. C(1),(2),(4)\left(1\right), \left(2\right), \left(4\right)
  4. D(1),(4)\left(1\right), \left(4\right)

Correct answer

A. (1),(2)\left(1\right), \left(2\right)

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.

1)Cu+⟶Cu2++Cu1 ){Cu}^{+} ⟶ {Cu}^{2 +} + Cu

Oxidation state of Cu+=+1{Cu}^{+} = + 1.

Oxidation state of Cu2+=+2{Cu}^{2 +} = + 2.

Oxidation state of Cu=0Cu = 0 .

Here, Cu+{Cu}^{+} is getting both reduced and oxidised.

2)3MnO4−+4H+⟶2MnO4−+MnO2+2H2O2 )3{MnO}_{4}^{-} + 4H^{+} ⟶ 2{MnO}_{4}^{-} + {MnO}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O

Oxidation state of MnMn in MnO4−=+7{MnO₄}^{-} = + 7.

Oxidation state of MnMn in MnO2=+4{MnO}_{2} = + 4.

Here, reduction is taking place.

3)2KMnO4⟶K2MnO4+MnO2+O23 )2{KMnO}_{4} ⟶ {K}_{2}{MnO}_{4} + {MnO}_{2} + {O}_{2}

Here in the reaction, MnMn is changing its oxidation state from +7+ 7 to +6+ 6and +4+ 4. In both cases, reduction is occurring.

4)2MnO4−+3Mn2++2H2O⟶5MnO2+4H+4 )2{MnO}_{4}^{-} + 3{Mn}^{2 +} + 2{H}_{2}O ⟶ 5{MnO}_{2} + 4H^{+}

Here in the reaction, product with MnMn in only one, so there is no possibility of both oxidation and reduction reactions at the same time.
