The equation $3MnO_{4}^{2 -} + 4H^{+} \rightarrow 2MnO_{4}^{-} + MnO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

Represent

Reduction

Disproportionation

Oxidation in acidic medium

Reduction in acidic medium

Answer

Disproportionation

Explanation

$\overset{+ 6}{3MnO_{4}^{2 -}} + 4H^{+}\overset{\quad\quad}{\rightarrow}\overset{+ 7}{2MnO_{4}^{-}} + \overset{+ 4}{MnO_{2}} + 2H_{2}O$

Shows disproportionation since the oxidation state of Mn changes from +6 to +7 $(MnO_{4}^{-})$ and +4 $(MnO_{2})$
