Which one of the following is an example of disproportionation reaction?

Options

A. `3Cl_(2)(g) + 60H^(-) (aq) rarr CIO_(3) (aq) + 5CI^(-) (aq) + 3H_(2)O (l)`
B. `Ag^(2+)(aq) + Ag(s) rarr 2Ag^(+)(aq)`
C. `Zn(s) + CuSO_(4) (aq) rarr Cu(s) + ZnSO_(4)(aq)`
D. `2KCIO_(3)(s) rarr 2KCI(s) + 3O_(2)(g)`

Answer

(a)

Explanation

Disproportionation reaction is defined as a reaction in which the same molecule undergoes both Oxidation and reduction.
