Question

Identify the reducing agent and the oxidising agent in the reaction (i) and (ii) respectively
$\left(i\right)\text{Mn}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}+\text{4HCl}\to \text{MnC}{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}\text{+ 2}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O + C}{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}$
$\left(ii\right)\text{CuO +}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\to \text{Cu +}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

• A. $\text{Mn}{\text{O}}_2\text{,}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$
• B. $\text{HCl,}\text{CuO}$
• C. $\text{C}{\text{l}}_2\text{,Cu}$
• D. $\text{MnC}{\text{l}}_2\text{,}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{HCl,}\text{CuO}$
