The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reactions are disproportionation reactions, we need to analyze each reaction to see if a single element undergoes both oxidation and reduction. A disproportionation reaction is characterized by one species being simultaneously oxidized and reduced. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Reaction A:** \[ 2Cu^+ \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + Cu \] - **Oxidation States:** - \(Cu^+\) has an oxidation state of +1. - \(Cu^{2+}\) has an oxidation state of +2. - \(Cu\) (elemental form) has an oxidation state of 0. - **Changes:** - \(Cu^+\) to \(Cu^{2+}\): Oxidation (loss of 1 electron). - \(Cu^+\) to \(Cu\): Reduction (gain of 1 electron). - **Conclusion:** This is a disproportionation reaction. 2. **Analyze Reaction B:** \[ 3MnO_4^{2-} + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2MnO_4^{-} + MnO_2 + 2H_2O \] - **Oxidation States:** - For \(MnO_4^{2-}\): \(Mn\) is +6. - For \(MnO_4^{-}\): \(Mn\) is +7. - For \(MnO_2\): \(Mn\) is +4. - **Changes:** - \(Mn\) changes from +6 to +7 (oxidation). - \(Mn\) changes from +6 to +4 (reduction). - **Conclusion:** This is a disproportionation reaction. 3. **Analyze Reaction C:** \[ 2KMnO_4 \overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow} K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2 + O_2 \] - **Oxidation States:** - For \(KMnO_4\): \(Mn\) is +7. - For \(K_2MnO_4\): \(Mn\) is +6. - For \(MnO_2\): \(Mn\) is +4. - **Changes:** - \(Mn\) changes from +7 to +6 (reduction). - \(Mn\) changes from +7 to +4 (reduction). - **Conclusion:** This is **not** a disproportionation reaction since both changes are reductions. 4. **Analyze Reaction D:** \[ 2MnO_4^{-} + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O \rightarrow 5MnO_2 + 4H^{+} \] - **Oxidation States:** - For \(MnO_4^{-}\): \(Mn\) is +7. - For \(Mn^{2+}\): \(Mn\) is +2. - For \(MnO_2\): \(Mn\) is +4. - **Changes:** - \(Mn\) changes from +7 to +4 (reduction). - \(Mn\) changes from +2 to +4 (oxidation). - **Conclusion:** This is **not** a disproportionation reaction since different manganese species are involved. ### Final Conclusion: The disproportionation reactions are found in options A and B. ### Correct Option: **A and B are disproportionation reactions.** ---
