Question
Given below are two statements :Statement I: S8 solid undergoesdisproportionation reaction under alkalineconditions to form S2− and S2O32−Statement II: ClO−4can undergodisproportionation reaction under acidic condition.In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correctBoth statement I and statement II are incorrectBoth statement I and statement II are correct
Solution
Both statement I and statement II are correct.
Statement I is correct because S8 solid can indeed undergo a disproportionation reaction under alkaline conditions to form S2− and S2O32−. This is a type of redox reaction where an element in a single compound is both oxidized and reduced.
Statement II is also correct because ClO−4 can undergo a disproportionation reaction under acidic conditions. In this case, the chlorine atom is both oxidized and reduced. This is a common reaction for halogens in high oxidation states.
