Q8 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry

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

  • A
    2H2O2→2H2O+O2
  • B
    2NO2+H2O→HNO3+HNO2
  • Correct answer
    C
    MnO4-+4H++3e-→MnO2+2H2O
  • D
    3MnO4+2-4H+→2MnO4+-MnO2+2H2O

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+O20 : Disproportionation

2NO2+H2O→HNO3+HNO2 : Disproportionation

MnO4-+4H++3e-→MnO2+2H2O : reduction only

3MnO42-+4H+→2MnO4-+MnO2+4+2H2O : Disproportionation

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
