Which of the given reactions is not an example of disproportionation reaction?

Options

  1. A2H2O2→2H2O+O22{H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to 2{H}_{2}O + {O}_{2}
  2. B2NO2+H2O→HNO3+HNO22{NO}_{2} + {H}_{2}O \to {HNO}_{3} + {HNO}_{2}
  3. CMnO4−+4H++3e−→MnO2+2H2O{MnO}_{4}^{-} + 4{H}^{+} + 3{e}^{-} \to {MnO}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O
  4. D3MnO4+2−4H+→2MnO4+−MnO2+2H2O3{MnO}_{4} + 2 - 4{H}^{+} \to 2{MnO}_{4} + - {MnO}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O

Correct answer

C. MnO4−+4H++3e−→MnO2+2H2O{MnO}_{4}^{-} + 4{H}^{+} + 3{e}^{-} \to {MnO}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O

Step-by-step solution

Disproportionation reaction, is a type of redox reaction involving simultaneous reduction and oxidation of atoms of the same element from one oxidation state (OS) to two different oxidation states.

2H2O2−1⟶2H2O−2+O202\mathop{{H}_{2}{O}_{2}}_{- 1} ⟶ 2\mathop{{H}_{2}O}_{- 2} + \mathop{O₂}_{0} : Disproportionation

2NO2+H2O→HNO3+HNO22{NO}_{2} + {H}_{2}O \to {HNO}_{3} + {HNO}_{2} : Disproportionation

MnO4−+4H++3e−→MnO2+2H2O{MnO}_{4}^{-} + 4{H}^{+} + 3{e}^{-} \to {MnO}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O : reduction only

3MnO42−+4H+→2MnO4−+MnO2+4+2H2O3{MnO}_{4}^{2 -} + 4{H}^{+} \to 2{MnO}_{4}^{-} + {MnO}_{2}^{+ 4} + 2{H}_{2}O : Disproportionation
