Options
- A1 , 2
- B2 , 3 , 4
- C1 , 2 , 4
- D1 , 4
Correct answer
A. 1 , 2
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 + ⟶ Cu 2 + + Cu Oxidation state of Cu + = + 1 . Oxidation state of Cu 2 + = + 2 . Oxidation state of Cu = 0 . Here, Cu + is getting both reduced and oxidised. 2 ) 3 MnO 4 - + 4 H + ⟶ 2 MnO 4 - + MnO 2 + 2 H 2 O Oxidation state of Mn in MnO 4 - = + 7 . Oxidation state of Mn in MnO 2 = + 4 . Here, reduction is taking place. 3 ) 2 KMnO 4 ⟶ K
