Identify the disproportionated element in each scenario. Explain why you know it is that element, and provide oxidation states where pertinent. • The conversion of mercury(II) chloride to mercury(I) chloride and mercury metal. • The reaction between dissolved chlorine gas and hydroxide ion to form chloride ion, chlorate ion and water. • Bromine fluoride gas is converted into BrF3 and bromine gas. • The conversion of trihydrogenphosphite to phosphate and phosphine. Organic Disproportionation Problems Organic chemistry often does not define disproportioination in terms of formal oxidation numbers, but atoms that start in one state and end up in two opposing protonation states or states of electron richness are considered disproportionation reactions. Identify the disporportionated species. • 2 water molecules forming hydronium and hydroxide. • 2 bicarbonate ions converting to a carbonate and a carbonic acid. • 2 carbon monoxide molecules forming ...

Disproportionation The disproportionation of thiosulphate (Eq. 5) and sulphite (Eq. 6) are both exergonic at standard conditions, whereas the disproportionation of elemental sulphur is endergonic (Eq. 7) and is only thermodynamically favourable under environmental conditions where the sulphide produced is scavenged by iron and manganese oxides (Finster, 2008; From: Advances in Microbial Physiology, 2015 Related terms: • Catalase • Nitric Oxide • Lysozyme • Hydrogen Peroxide • Alpha Oxidation • Solution and Solubility • Reduction (Chemistry) • Molecular Weight • Electric Potential I.R. Harris, M. Kubis, in Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001 4Technical and Economical Aspects The HDDR process is an environmentally friendly and simple method of powder preparation. The combination of hydrogen decrepitation and the HDDR process makes it possible to produce highly coercive Nd–Fe–B-type powders from the ingot starting material in “one run.” Additionally, the amount of free α-Fe in cast Nd–Fe–B materials, which has a significant detrimental effect on the magnetic properties, is reduced by the HDDR treatment. The most sensitive part of the HDDR process is the recombination stage. A scaling up to larger batch sizes leads to the formation of an inhomogeneous microstructure after both processing steps, because of large temperature gradients caused by the strongly exothermic/endothermic character of the disproportionation/recombination reactions. The inhomogeneous m...

Hydrogen peroxide is decomposed as follows: $$\ce$$ Can it happen in the second way? If yes, can you explain the mechanism in simple terms? $\begingroup$ If it is what I think it is, and the fourth equation is just a typo (H2O should be H2O2), then yes, it is formally correct. However, if you just keep H2O2 by itself, without any oxygen, it will still decompose. This isn't captured by your proposed pair of half-equations, which essentially says that you need oxygen gas for the total reaction (i.e. sum of 2 half-reactions) to proceed. $\endgroup$ In principle you could find a lot of equations, all leading to the same result. But these are only (half-)equations. Most of the times the reaction mechanism is much more complicated than just these reaction equations. The decomposition of hydrogenperoxide is still an active field of research in various media with various catalysts. Unfortunately with the massive overflow of the above, I was only able to find a quite old Here is a small line-up of reaction equations that will play a role in the decomposition, at least to that part that I can imagine it. And I am just assuming that there are radicals involved, because there usually are. \begin Thanks for contributing an answer to Chemistry Stack Exchange! • Please be sure to answer the question.

Question Write the half equations for the following reaction: $$\ce$$ I am sure this isn't correct, as I can't balance it and together they do not add up to the full equation Hint: $$\ce$$ is likely to happen, if [O] (nascent oxygen) is not used up in some reaction. Here, as soon as it is released in the first reaction (reduction), it is used up in the second (oxidation). Hope that helps.

Further Information Related Reactions Tishchenko Reaction The Tishchenko Reaction is a disproportionation reaction that allows the preparation of esters from two equivalents of an aldehyde. Mechanism of the Tishchenko Reaction The aluminium alkoxide acts as a Lewis acid to coordinate with one molecule of the aldehyde, and to facilitate the addition of a second equivalent of aldehyde, generating a hemiacetal intermediate: This species undergoes an intramolecular 1,3-hydride shift that results in the production of the aluminium-coordinated ester. A potential side reaction is the involvement of one of the alkoxide groups from the catalyst: This can be minimised, if the reaction is conducted at low temperatures and low catalyst loadings.

\( \newcommand\) • • • • • • • • • • • Electron transfer is one of the most basic processes that can happen in chemistry. It simply involves the movement of an electron from one atom to another. Many important biological processes rely on electron transfer, as do key industrial transformations used to make valuable products. In biology, for example, electron transfer plays a central role in respiration and the harvesting of energy from glucose, as well as the storage of energy during photosynthesis. In society, electron transfer has been used to obtain metals from ores since the dawn of civilization. Oxidation state is a useful tool for keeping track of electron transfers. It is most commonly used in dealing with metals and especially with transition metals. Unlike metals from the first two columns of the periodic table, such as sodium or magnesium, transition metals can often transfer different numbers of electrons, leading to different metal ions (e.g., sodium is generally found as Na + and magnesium is almost always Mg 2 +, but manganese could be Mn 2 +, Mn 3 +, and so on, as far as Mn 7 +). Oxidation state is a number assigned to an element in a compound according to some rules. This number enable us to describe oxidation-reduction reactions, and balancing redox chemical reactions. When a covalent bond forms between two atoms with different electronegativities the shared electrons in the bond lie closer to the more electronegative atom: The oxidation number of an atom...
