What is the correct representation of reaction occurring when HCl is heated with MnO2?
  1. MnO4 + 5Cl + 8H+ Mn2+ + 5Cl+ 5H2O
  2. MnO2 + 2Cl + 4H+ Mn2+ + Cl2 + 2H2O
  3. 2MnO2 + 4Cl + 8H+ 2Mn2++ 2Cl2 + 4H2O
  4. MnO2 + 4HCl MnCl4 + Cl2 + H2O

Answer

(B) MnO 2 + 2Cl – + 4H + → Mn 2+ + Cl 2 + 2H 2 O
