Out of the following redox reactions \( \boldsymbol{I} \cdot \boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{H}_{4} \boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{O}_{3} \stackrel{\Delta}{\rightarrow} \boldsymbol{N}_{2} \boldsymbol{O}+\boldsymbol{2} \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{O} \) III.N \( \boldsymbol{H}_{4} \boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{O}_{2} \stackrel{\Delta}{\rightarrow} \boldsymbol{N}_{2}+\mathbf{2} \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{O} \) IIII.PCl\( _{5} \stackrel{\Delta}{\rightarrow} P C l_{3}+C l_{2} \) disproportionation is not shown in:
- I and II
- II and III
- I and III
- I, II and III
Correct answer: I and III
Solution
In reaction I, nitrogen goes from -3 in NH4NO3 to an average of +1 in N2O, but the redox change is not a disproportionation of a single oxidation state into two different ones. In reaction III, phosphorus in PCl5 is simply reduced from +5 to +3 while chlorine is oxidized from -1 to 0, so it is not disproportionation either.
