What is dispropotionation reaction |
| Answer» Its a type of redox reaction in which a species reduced and oxidized simultaneously i.e. same element reduce and oxidise , to form two different products.Example: Chlorine gas reacts with dilute\xa0sodium\xa0hydroxide\xa0to form\xa0sodium chloride,\xa0sodium chlorate\xa0and\xa0water.\xa0{tex}3 Cl_2\xa0+ 6 OH^−\xa0\\to 5 Cl^−\xa0+ ClO_3^ −\xa0+ 3 H_2O{/tex}The chlorine gas reactant is in\xa0oxidation state\xa00. In the products, the chlorine in the Cl−\xa0ion has an oxidation number of −1, having been reduced, whereas the oxidation number of the chlorine in the ClO3−\xa0ion is +5, indicating that it has been oxidized. | |
