Question:
$ \text{Which of the following is not an intramolecular redox reaction?} $
Options:
-
1. $ \text{NH}_4\text{NO}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} $
-
2. $ 2\text{Mn}_2\text{O}_7 \rightarrow 4\text{MnO}_2 + 3\text{O}_2 $
-
3. $ 2\text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2\text{KCl} + 3\text{O}_2 $
-
4. $ 2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2 $
Solution:
\text{Hint: Intramolecular redox change involve oxidation of one atom and reduction of another atom within a molecule.}
\\
\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}
\\
\text{(-3)} \quad \text{(+3)} \quad \text{(0)}
\\
\text{oxidation} \quad \text{reduction}
\\
\text{Mn}_2\text{O}_7 \rightarrow \text{MnO}_2 + 3\text{O}_2
\\
\text{(+7)} \quad \text{(-2)} \quad \text{(+4)} \quad \text{(0)}
\\
\text{reduction} \quad \text{oxidation}
\\
\text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2\text{KCl} + 3\text{O}_2
\\
\text{(+5)} \quad \text{(-2)} \quad \text{(-1)} \quad \text{(0)}
\\
\text{reduction} \quad \text{oxidation}
\\
\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2
\\
\text{(-1)} \quad \text{(-2)} \quad \text{(0)}
\\
\text{reduction} \quad \text{oxidation}
\\
\text{In 1st case its one N, with +3 state undergoes reduction, where as another nitrogen with -3 undergoes oxidation, its not a disproportionation reaction because in that case reactant atom must have one oxidation state.}
\\
\text{In 2nd case, its Mn which undergoes reduction and O which undergoes oxidation.}
\\
\text{In 3rd case - its Cl which undergoes reduction and O undergoes oxidation.}
\\
\text{Where as in 4th case, its O of H}_2\text{O}_2 \text{ which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction, so it will be a disproportionation reaction}
