Oxidation and reduction process involves the transaction of electrons Loss of electrons is oxidation and the gain of electrons is reduction It is thus obvious that in a redox reaction the oxidant is reduced by accepting the electrons and the reductant is oxidised by losing electrons The reactions in which a species disproportionate into two oxidation states lower and higher are called disproportionation reactions In electrochemical cells redox reaction is involved i e oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode Which one of the following is an example for disproportionation reaction Select an answer A MgO H O Mg OH 2 B C D P4 30H 3H O PH3 3H PO S O SO2 Zn CuSO4 ZnSO4 Cu
