WHAT DOES DISMUTATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Disproportionation

Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidized to form two different products. For example: the UV photolysis of mercury chloride Hg2Cl2 → Hg + HgCl2 is a disproportionation. Mercury is a diatomic dication Hg2+ 2. In this reaction the chemical bond in the molecular ion is broken and one mercury atom is reduced to mercury and the other is oxidized to mercury. A similar type of reaction, but in which no element changes oxidation number, is the acid-base disproportionation reaction observed when an amphiprotic species reacts with itself. Two common examples for conjugated bases of polyprotic acids such as bicarbonate and dihydrogenophosphate are respectively: 2 HCO− 3 → CO2− 3 + H2CO3 2 H 2PO− 4 → HPO2− 4 + H3PO4 . This is also called autoionization. Another variant on disproportionation is radical disproportionation, in which two radicals form an alkane and alkene.
