Solution

The correct option is D 13%
Here, as per the given equation, 1 mole of Cl2 is formed from 1 mole of MnO2

Therefore,
Number of moles of Cl2 is n=2.24L22.4L=0.1 mol

Therefore, Mass of Cl2 is given by W=87g/mol×0.1 mol=8.7 g

Impurity in MnO2=10g8.7g=1.3g

Percentage impurity=1.3g10g×100=13%

Hence, the correct option is D
