The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following reactions is not a disproportionation reaction, we first need to understand what a disproportionation reaction is. A disproportionation reaction is a type of redox reaction in which a single substance is both oxidized and reduced, resulting in two different products containing the same element in different oxidation states. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: We have four reactions to analyze for disproportionation: - Reaction 1: P4 → H2PO2 + P3 - Reaction 2: Cl2 → Cl- + ClO - Reaction 3: H2O2 → H2O + O2 - Reaction 4: H2O2 → H2O + O2 (this seems to be a repeated mention, but we will treat it as a separate reaction for analysis) 2. **Analyze Reaction 1 (P4 → H2PO2 + P3)**: - Oxidation states: P in P4 is 0, in H2PO2 it is +1, and in P3 it is -3. - Here, P is oxidized from 0 to +1 and reduced from 0 to -3. - Since the same element (P) is both oxidized and reduced, this is a disproportionation reaction. 3. **Analyze Reaction 2 (Cl2 → Cl- + ClO)**: - Oxidation states: Cl in Cl2 is 0, in Cl- it is -1, and in ClO it is +1. - Cl is oxidized from 0 to +1 and reduced from 0 to -1. - Again, the same element (Cl) is both oxidized and reduced, so this is also a disproportionation reaction. 4. **Analyze Reaction 3 (H2O2 → H2O + O2)**: - Oxidation states: O in H2O2 is -1, in H2O it is -2, and in O2 it is 0. - O is reduced from -1 to -2 and oxidized from -1 to 0. - The same element (O) is both oxidized and reduced, making this a disproportionation reaction. 5. **Analyze Reaction 4 (H2O2 → H2O + O2)**: - This is the same as Reaction 3, so the analysis remains the same. - It is also a disproportionation reaction. 6. **Conclusion**: Since all the reactions analyzed involve the same element being both oxidized and reduced, they all qualify as disproportionation reactions. If the question is asking for one that is not a disproportionation reaction, it appears that all provided options are indeed disproportionation reactions. ### Final Answer: All of the reactions listed are disproportionation reactions. Therefore, none of them is an example of a reaction that is not a disproportionation reaction.
