Solution

The correct option is D 0.486 gm
MnO2+4HClCl2+MnCl2+2H2O
As HCl is present in limited amount, it will be limiting reagent and the amount of chlorine gas produced will be calculated according to the amount of HCl present.
Moles of HCl=136.5
Moles of Cl2=14×136.5
Weight of Cl2 gas=14×136.5×71=0.486 gm
