Question

What do you understand by Dispropotionation. Give one example?​

Answer 1

A reaction in which the same species is simultaneously oxidised as well as reduced is called a disproportionation reaction. Thus we can say that disproportionation reaction is a special type of redox reaction. In which an element in one oxidation state simutaneously undergoes both oxidation and reduction.

hope it will help you.

please mark it as brainliest.

Answer 2

EXAMPLE = -1 to zero. While the oxidation number of oxygen changes from -1 to -2, so H2O2 is oxidised into H2O. So this reaction is a Disproportionation reaction. The reaction, 2H2O2→2H2O+O2 is a Disproportionation reaction.

DEFINITION = In chemistry, disproportionation, sometimes called dismutation, is a redox reaction in which one compound of intermediate oxidation state converts to two compounds, one of higher and one of lower oxidation states.
