Q. The reaction, ${Ag}^{2 +}\ (aq) + Ag(s) \rightleftharpoons 2{Ag}^{+}(aq)$ is an example of
A) Reduction
B) Oxidation
C) Comproportionation
D) Disproportionation
Explanation
(c)
The reaction, in which two or more species undergo reduction as well as oxidation to give a single species are called comproportionation reaction. This is reverse of disproportionation reaction.
