- Which statement is the correct one? a. Comproportionation is a redox reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is simultaneously raised and lowered. Disproportionation is the opposite of comproportionation. a b. Disproportionation is a reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is raised. Comproportionation is a reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is lowered. c. Disproportionation is a redox reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is simultaneously raised and lowered. Comproportionation is the opposite of disproportionation.arrow_forwardThe first step in the synthesis of alum is to react aluminum with potassium hydroxide. Why does this need to be heated? to speed up the reaction, but it doesn't need to be heated the whole time. The reaction is exothermic and will eventually produce enough heat to progress on its own. to make the reaction happen. It must be heated the whole time or the reaction will stop. to slow the reaction down. It will proceed too quickly without heat. It doesn't need heating. It might catch fire if it is heated.arrow_forwardPlease answer question 12arrow_forward
