(i) Which of the following species, do not show disproportionation reaction and why?CIO– , CIO2– , CIO3– and CIO4–Also write reaction for each of the species that disproportionate.(ii) Give one example each of the following redox reaction:(a) Combination reaction(b) Decomposition reaction(c) Metal displacement reaction

Answer»

(i) Among the oxoanions of chlorine, CIO4 does not disproportionate because in this oxoanion. Chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state i.e. +7. 

The disproportionation reactions for other there oxoanions of chlorine are as follows:

\(3\overset{+1}{CI}O^-\rightarrow2\overset{-1}{Cl}+\overset{+5}{CIO^-_3}\)

\(6\overset{+3}{CI}O^-_2 \overset{hr}{\rightarrow}4\overset{+5}{CI}O^-_3+2\overset{-1}{Cl^-}\)

\(4\overset{+5}{CI}O^-_3\rightarrow\overset{-1}{Cl^-}+3\overset{+7}{CI}O^-_4\)

(ii) (a) Example of combination reaction

3Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg3N2(s)

(b) Example of Decomposition reaction:

2NaH(s) \(\overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow}\) 2Na(s) + H2(g)

(c) Example of metal displacement reaction:

V2O5(s) + 5Ca(s) \(\overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow}\) 2V(s) + 5CaO(s)
