In the frost diagram for sulfur in basic solution, what species would disproportionate
Accepted Answer
In a frost diagram for sulfur in basic solution, the species that would disproportionate is the sulfite ion (SO3^2-). This is because it lies above the line connecting the sulfide (S^2-) and sulfate (SO4^2-) ions. Disproportionation occurs when a species is both oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.
