How we calculate n factor for dispropornation reaction

Answer»

You can calculate n factor in disproportionation reaction by the formula

1/N=1/n1 +1/n2

where n₁=n factor for oxidation half and n₂=n factor for reduction half

As example:
I₂→ IO₃^- + I⁻
Now we calculate n₁ -
The oxidation reaction is I₂→ 2IO₃⁻+ 10e⁻
n₁= 10
Now we calculate n₂–
The reduction reaction is - 2e⁻+ I₂→ 2I^-
n₂ = 2
Hence , n = 5/3
