A disproportionate reaction is a redox reaction where the same element is both oxidized and reduced. Let's analyze each option:
1. KMnO4 → MnSO4 + Mn2O3: Mn is reduced from +7 to +2 and +3. Disproportionation.
2. : P is oxidized from +3 to +5 and reduced to -3. Disproportionation.
3. : No change in P oxidation state (+5). Not disproportionation.
4. CuCl2 → Cu2Cl2 + Cu: Cu is reduced from +2 to +1 and to 0. Disproportionation.
Final answer: Options 1, 2, and 4 are disproportionate reactions.
