Which is (are) disproportionation reaction(s)?

Answer»

`2RCHOoverset("Al(OEt)"_3)rarrRCOOCH_2R`
`4H_(3)PO_3overset(DELTA)rarr3H_3PO_4+PH_3`
`PCl_(5)rarrPCl_(3)+Cl_(3)`
`RCHOoverset(KOH)rarr"RCOOK" +RCH_2OH`

SOLUTION : Disproportionation reactions are
`2RCHO overset(Al("OEt")_3)rarr RCOOCH_2R`
`4H_3PO_3 overset(Delta)rarr3H_(3)PO_(4)+PH_3`
`RCHO overset(KOH)rarrRCOOK + RCH_2OH`
In disproportionate reaction the same substance is simultaneously oxidised and reduced . While one atom of the substance acts as oxidant and ANOTHER atom of the substance acts as reductant.
