Breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen is an example of ______________(a) combination(b) decomposition(c) disproportionation(d) double decompositionThe question was posed to me in an international level competition.My question is based upon Redox Reactions and Electrode Processes topic in division Redox Reactions of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) DISPROPORTIONATION

The BEST I can explain: Disproportionation reactions are a special type of redox reactions. In this type of redox reactions, a single COMPOUND undergoes oxidation and REDUCTION at the same time. The breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and hydrogen, the same THING happens.
