2F2 + 2OH^– → 2F^– + OF2 + H2O is a type of ______________(a) combination reaction(b) displacement reaction(c) disproportionate reaction(d) decomposition reactionThe question was posed to me in quiz.The query is from Redox Reactions and Electrode Processes topic in division Redox Reactions of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (c) disproportionate REACTION

The best I can explain: Disproportion reaction occurs when an element in a compound after reactions splits into two different OXIDATION States i.e. it is reduced and oxidized. In the above reaction. FLORINE is reduced as WELL as oxidized, so it is a disproportionate reaction.
