Which of the following reactions are disproportionation reactions?
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
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.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
