Which species is unstable with respect to disproportionation a frost diagram for sulphur in basic solution
Accepted Answer
In a basic solution, the species sulfite (SO3^2-) is unstable with respect to disproportionation. This can be seen on a Frost diagram for sulfur in basic solution where the line connecting sulfite to sulfide (S^2-) and sulfate (SO4^2-) has a negative slope, indicating a thermodynamically favorable disproportionation reaction.
