Which of these reactions represents a disproportionation reaction?(A) Cr203 + 2AIAl203+2Cra3.(B) 2Na + 2H2O(D) CH4 + 202→ 2NaOH+ H2CO2+ 2H20AC) 2H2O2→ 2H2O +02 |
| Answer» <p>Hydrogen peroxideconverting into water and oxygen is adisproportionation reaction.</p><p>Hence, option (c) is correct.</p><p>Disproportionation, sometimes called dismutation, is aredox reactionin which a compound of intermediate oxidation state converts to two different compounds, one of higher and one of lower oxidation states.Although not widely accepted, disproportionation is sometimes used to describe any desymmetrizing reaction of the following type: 2 A → A' + A", regardless of any redox process.</p> | |
