MCQ
Which of the following reactions are disproportionation reactions?

(A) $\mathrm{Cu}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+\mathrm{Cu}$

(B) $3 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{MnO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$

(C) $2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{MnO}_4+\mathrm{MnO}_2+\mathrm{O}_2$

(D) $2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+3 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{MnO}_2+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • $(A), (B)$
  • B
    $(B), (C), (D)$
  • C
    $(A), (B), (C)$
  • D
    $(A),(D)$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$(A), (B)$
a
When a particular oxidation state becomes less stable relative to other oxidation state, one lower, one higher, it is said to undergo disproportionation.

$\mathrm{Cu}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+\mathrm{Cu}$

$3 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{MnO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
