Total number of species from the following which can undergo disproportionation reaction ___________. H 2 O…
Solution
The compounds or ions or elements in which central atom has intermediate oxidation state undergo a disproportionation reaction.
Disproportionation reactions are the reactions in which the same element/compound gets oxidised and reduced simultaneously.
1)
2)
Here, the chlorine reactant is in oxidation state , and if we look at the products, the chlorine in the Cl− ion has an oxidation number of , where it has undergone reduction. Meanwhile, the oxidation number of the chlorine in the ion is , which means it has been oxidised.
Hence, shows disproportionation reaction.
