what is disproportionate reaction
Answers
Answer:
disproportionation reaction is when a multiatomic species whose pertinent element has a specific oxidation state gets oxidized and reduced in two separate half-reactions, yielding two other products containing the same pertinent element. EXAMPLE: MANGANESE OXIDES. A convenient example is Mn2O3 becoming Mn2+ and MnO2 ...
Answer:
Disproportionate Reactions: A redox reaction in which a same element present in a particular compound in a definite oxidation state is oxidized as well as reduced simultaneously is a disproportionate reaction
In a disproportionation reaction, same substance undergoes oxidation (increase in oxidation number) as well as reduction (decrease in oxidation number) resulting in the formation of two different products. e.g. (IV) in acidic solution
