Total number of species from the following which can undergo disproportionation reaction ___________.
H2O2,ClO3-,P4,Cl2,Ag,Cu+1, F2,NO2, K+

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)Cu+  Cu2+ + Cu

2) 2H2O-12H2O-2+O02

3) 3 Cl2 + 6 OH  5Cl + ClO3+ 3 H2O

 4) 2NO2(g)+2OH(aq)NO2(aq)+H2O(l)+NO3

5) P4+3OH-+3H2OPH3+3H2PO2-

Here, the chlorine reactant is in oxidation state 0, and if we look at the products, the chlorine in the Cl ion has an oxidation number of 1, where it has undergone reduction. Meanwhile, the oxidation number of the chlorine in the ClO3- ion is +5, which means it has been oxidised.

Hence, H2O2, Cu+, Cl2,ClO3,P4,NO2 shows disproportionation reaction.
