In a frost diagram for sulfur in a basic solution ,which species would disproportionate

Accepted Answer

In a Frost diagram for sulfur in a basic solution, the species that disproportionates is sulfite (SO3^2-). This is because it lies above the line connecting the species to its left (sulfide, S^2-) and right (sulfate, SO4^2-) indicating that it is thermodynamically unstable and can spontaneously decompose into both a lower and higher oxidation state species.
