Question
Complete the following reaction and justify that it is a disproportionation reaction:
\[\ce{3MnO^{2-}4 + 4H^+ -> \underline{}\underline{}\underline{}\underline{} + \underline{}\underline{}\underline{}\underline{} + 2H2O}\]

Solution
\[\ce{3MnO^{2-}4 + 4H^+ -> 2MnO^-4 + MnO2 + 2H2O}\]
This is a disproportionation reaction since the same element [Mn] is oxidised and reduced in this process.
