Cartain materials such as turpentine oil...

Cartain materials such as turpentine oil, unsaturated organic compound, phosophorus, metals such as `Zn`, and `Pb`, etc., can absorb `O_(2)` from air in the presence of `H_(2)O`, which is converted to absorb `O_(2)` from air in the presence of `H_(2)O`, which is converted to `H_(2)O_(2)`. This is called autoxidation. Intermolecular redox reactions are those in which one molecule is oxidised and the other is reduced. Intramolecular redox reactions are those in which oen atom of a molecule is oxidised and the other atom is reduced.
Which of the following reactions is`//`are disproportionation reactions `(s)`?

A

`Cl_(2)+2overset(ө)OHrarrCl^(ө)+ClO^(ө)+H_(2)O`

B

`2HCuCl_(2)rarrCu+Cu^(2+)4Cl^(ө)+2H^(o+)`

C

`HCHO+overset(ө)OHrarrCH_(3)OH+HCOO^(ө)`

D

`MgCO_(3)rarrMgO+CO_(2)`

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reactions are disproportionation reactions, we need to understand the concept of disproportionation. A disproportionation reaction is a specific type of redox reaction in which a single substance is both oxidized and reduced, resulting in the formation of two different products with different oxidation states. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: We need to analyze the reactions provided in the options to check if they fit the definition of disproportionation reactions. 2. **Analyze Each Reaction**: - **Reaction 1**: Cl₂ → Cl⁻ + Cl⁺ - In this reaction, the oxidation state of chlorine (Cl) changes from 0 in Cl₂ to -1 in Cl⁻ (reduction) and +1 in Cl⁺ (oxidation). Since one species is oxidized and another is reduced, this is a disproportionation reaction. - **Reaction 2**: 2Cu⁺ → Cu + Cu²⁺ - Here, the oxidation state of copper changes from +1 in Cu⁺ to 0 in Cu (reduction) and +2 in Cu²⁺ (oxidation). This also qualifies as a disproportionation reaction because one copper ion is oxidized while another is reduced. - **Reaction 3**: HCHO → HCOOH + CO - In this reaction, formaldehyde (HCHO) is oxidized to formic acid (HCOOH) and carbon monoxide (CO). The carbon in HCHO is oxidized, but it does not involve a single species being both oxidized and reduced. Therefore, this is not a disproportionation reaction. - **Reaction 4**: MgCO₃ → MgO + CO₂ - In this reaction, magnesium carbonate decomposes into magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. The oxidation states of magnesium and carbon do not change; thus, this is not a disproportionation reaction. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the reactions that are disproportionation reactions are: - Reaction 1 (Cl₂ → Cl⁻ + Cl⁺) - Reaction 2 (2Cu⁺ → Cu + Cu²⁺) ### Final Answer: The disproportionation reactions are **Reaction 1 and Reaction 2**.
