Question

Can HNO3 and H3PO4 undergo disproportionation reaction ?

Answer 1

no it does not undergo any reaction

Answer 2

Hey dear,


● Disproportionation reaction -
- Disproportionation reaction is a reaction in which a substance is simultaneously oxidized and reduced, giving two different products.
- In HNO3, N is in its max oxidation state of +5 which can't be oxidized further. Thus, HNO3 doesn't show disproportionation reaction.
- In H3PO4, P is in its max oxidation state of +5 which can't be oxidized further. Thus, H3PO4 doesn't show disproportionation reaction.

Hope this helps you...
