Dear Student

 

you can calculate n factor in disproportionation reaction by the formula 

1/N=1/n1 +1/n2

where n1=n factor for oxidation half

          n2=n factor for reduction half

First of all balance the reaction and then apply the fomula
1/nf = 1/nf(red) + 1/nf(ox)
so 1/nf = 1/2+1/10
= 5/3
