Which of the following is a disproportionation reaction?
A
$$C{l_{2\left( g \right)}} + 2O{H^ - }_{\left( {aq} \right)} \to $$ $$Cl{O^ - }_{\left( {aq} \right)} + C{l^ - }_{\left( {aq} \right)} + {H_2}{O_{\left( l \right)}}$$
B
$$C{l_{2\left( g \right)}} + 2{I^ - }_{\left( {aq} \right)} \to 2C{l^ - }_{\left( {aq} \right)} + {I_{2\left( s \right)}}$$
C
\[2F{{e}_{\left( s \right)}}+3{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{\left( l \right)}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\] \[F{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3\left( s \right)}}+3{{H}_{2\left( g \right)}}\]
D
$$2{H_2}{O_{\left( l \right)}} + 2{F_{2\left( g \right)}} \to 4H{F_{\left( {aq} \right)}} + {O_{2\left( g \right)}}$$
\[{{\overset{0}{\mathop{Cl}}\,}_{2\left( g \right)}}+2OH_{\left( aq \right)}^{-}\to \] \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{Cl}}\,{{O}^{-}}_{\left( aq \right)}+{{\overset{-1}{\mathop{C{{l}^{-}}}}\,}_{\left( aq \right)}}+{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{\left( l \right)}}\]
Chlorine is simultaneously reduced and oxidised.
112.
Which compound amongst the following has the highest oxidation number of $$Mn?$$
A
$$KMn{O_4}$$
B
$${K_2}Mn{O_4}$$
C
$$Mn{O_2}$$
D
$$M{n_2}{O_3}$$
Answer :
$$KMn{O_4}$$
$$\eqalign{
& KMn{O_4} \to + 1 + x - 8 = 0 \Rightarrow x = + 7 \cr
& {K_2}Mn{O_4} \to + 2 + x - 8 = 0 \Rightarrow x = + 6 \cr
& Mn{O_2} \to x - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow x = + 4 \cr
& M{n_2}{O_3} \to 2x - 6 = 0 \Rightarrow x = + 3 \cr} $$

The element that does not show positive oxidation state is
A
$$O$$
B
$$N$$
C
$$Cl$$
D
$$F$$
Answer :
$$F$$
Fluorine is most electronegative element in the periodic table hence it does not show positive oxidation state.
114.
Which of the following statements is not correct about the reaction given below?
\[{{K}_{4}}\left[ Fe{{\left( CN \right)}_{6}} \right]\xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}}F{{e}^{3+}}+C{{O}_{2}}+NO_{3}^{-}\]
A
$$Fe$$ is oxidised from \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] to \[F{{e}^{3+}}.\]
B
Carbon is oxidised from $${C^{2 + }}$$ to $${C^{4 + }}$$
C
$$N$$ is oxidised from $${N^{3 - }}$$ to $${N^{5 + }}.$$
D
Carbon is not oxidised.
Answer :
Carbon is not oxidised.
In $$C{N^ - },$$ oxidation of $$C$$ is +2, and it changes to +4 oxidation state in $$C{O_2}.$$ So $$C$$ is also oxidised.
115.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in $${C_3}{O_2}$$ ( carbon suboxide )?
A
$$ + \frac{4}{3}$$
B
$$ + \frac{{10}}{4}$$
C
$$ + 2$$
D
$$ + \frac{2}{3}$$
Answer :
$$ + \frac{4}{3}$$
$$O = \mathop C\limits^{ + 2} = \mathop C\limits^0 = \mathop C\limits^{ + 2} = O$$
In $${C_3}{O_2},$$ two $$C$$ atoms linked with oxygen atoms are present in +2 oxidation state and central carbon has zero oxidation state. So, the average oxidation state of $$C$$ is $$ + \frac{4}{3}.$$
116.
Which is not true about the oxidation state of the following elements?
A
Sulphur + 6 to - 2
B
Carbon + 4 to - 4
C
Chlorine + 7 to - 1
D
Nitrogen + 3 to - 1
Answer :
Nitrogen + 3 to - 1
Oxidation state of $$N$$ varies from + 5 to - 3.
117.
Which of the following acts as a self-indicator?
A
$${K_2}C{r_2}{O_7}$$
B
$$KMn{O_4}$$
C
$${\text{Oxalic acid}}$$
D
$${\text{Iodine}}$$
Answer :
$$KMn{O_4}$$
$$KMn{O_4}$$ is purple coloured and it changes its colour during titration, hence it is a self-indicator.
Disproportionation reaction is a special type of redox reaction in which an element in one oxidation state is simultaneously oxidised and reduced.
