The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following reactions are disproportionation reactions, we need to identify if the same element in a reaction is both oxidized and reduced. Let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Disproportionation Reaction**: - A disproportionation reaction involves a single element undergoing both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons) simultaneously, resulting in two different products with different oxidation states. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - Reaction: \( \text{Cu}^+ \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + \text{Cu}^0 \) - In this reaction, copper in the +1 oxidation state is oxidized to +2 (losing an electron) and reduced to 0 (gaining an electron). - **Conclusion**: This is a disproportionation reaction. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - Reaction: \( \text{MnO}_4^- + 8 \text{H}^+ \rightarrow 2 \text{MnO}_4^{2-} + \text{MnO}_2 \) - Here, manganese in \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) is in the +7 oxidation state and is reduced to +4 in \( \text{MnO}_2 \) (gaining electrons) while another manganese is oxidized from +6 to +7 (losing electrons). - **Conclusion**: This is also a disproportionation reaction. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - Reaction: \( \text{KMnO}_4 \rightarrow \text{K}_2\text{MnO}_4 + \text{MnO}_2 \) - In this case, manganese goes from +7 in \( \text{KMnO}_4 \) to +6 in \( \text{K}_2\text{MnO}_4 \) (reduction) and to +4 in \( \text{MnO}_2 \) (also reduction). - **Conclusion**: This is not a disproportionation reaction since both transformations are reductions. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - Reaction: \( \text{MnO}_4^- \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + \text{MnO}_2 \) - Here, manganese goes from +7 in \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) to +2 (reduction) and +4 in \( \text{MnO}_2 \) (also reduction). - **Conclusion**: This is also not a disproportionation reaction as there is no oxidation occurring. ### Final Answer: The correct options that represent disproportionation reactions are **A and B**.
