2Se2Cl2 -------> SeCl4 + 3Se

Disproportionation Reaction

Disproportionation reaction is usually also known as dismutation reaction and it is basically a type of redox reaction in which it involves the simultaneous reduction and oxidation of atoms of the same element from its one oxidation state (OS) to two different oxidation states. Basically, one compound of intermediate oxidation state gets converted into two compounds where one have higher oxidation state and other have lower oxidation state. So, a species is reduced and oxidized simultaneously to form two different products.
