To determine if sulfur disproportionates in the given Latimer diagram, we need to consider the reduction potentials of the involved species. Disproportionation occurs when a single species undergoes both oxidation and reduction. We need the Latimer diagram to compare the reduction potentials of SO4^2- and HS- to see if a disproportionation reaction is favorable.
