Question

Select the nitrogen oxide which shows disproportionation in alkaline medium.

• A. $N_2{O}_3$
• B. $N_2{O}_4$
• C. $N_2{O}_5$
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B $N_2{O}_4$

Disporportionation reaction: Reaction in which a substance is simultaneously oxidized and reduced and form two different products.


Hence, here $N_2{O}_4$ shows disporotionation reaction in alkaline medium as it undergoes oxidation and reduction both simultaneously.
