The tendency of two species to disproportionate can be determined by examining the:
- A. Phase diagram
- B. Volume vs Temperature graph
- C. Frost diagram
- D. Heat capacity vsTemperature graph
Step-by-step solution
A Frost diagram (or Frost-Ebsworth diagram) plots the free energy change (or reduction potential) against oxidation state for different species of an element. It allows rapid assessment of the thermodynamic stability of oxidation states and the likelihood of disproportionation reactions. A species will disproportionate if it lies above the line connecting its neighboring oxidation states in the Frost diagram.
