Which of the following species, do not show disproportionation reaction and why ?
`ClO^(-) , ClO_(2)^(-) , ClO_(3)^(-) ` and `ClO_(4)^(-)`
Also write reaction for each of the species that disproportionates.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The oxidation state of Cl in `ClO_(2)^(-)` is +3. So, chlorine can get oxidised as well as reduced and can act as reductant and oxidant both.
The disproportionation reaction of `ClO_(2)^(-)` is
`" "overset(+1)(3ClO_(2)^(-)) rarr Cl^(-)+overset(+5)(ClO_(3)^(-))`
In `ClO_(4)^(-)`, Cl is in its highest oxidation state, so it can only be an oxidant.
