Solution

The correct option is A 435
(a) NHCl=% by weight×10×dEwofHCl
=5×10×1.236.5=1.64
Now, mEq of MnO2= mEq of HCl
=mEq of Cl2 formed.
=1.1211.2×103
=100 EwofCl2=M21eqofCl2=11.2L
(b) Volume of HCl used:
N×V=100
1.64×V=100
VHCl=60.97mL
Because HCl is also used to give MnCl2 thus volume used is double than required for the reduction of MnO2.
VHCl=2×60.97=121.94mL
(c) Also, mEq of MnO2=mEq of HCl=100
W87/2×103=100(Ew of MnO2=55+322)
WMnO2=4.35g
