Which of the following reactions is an example of a disproportionation reaction? (2023)
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
Fe + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H2
In the reaction 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2, the oxidation state of oxygen changes from -1 in H2O2 to 0 in O2, indicating that it is both oxidized and reduced.
