Question

MNO2+4HCL----->MNCL2+2H2O+CL2
From ten above reaction identify :
The substance oxidised, reduced
The substance acting as an oxidising agent , reducing agent

Open in App
Solution

MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

In this reaction, the oxidation number of Mn changes from +4 in MnO 2 to +2 in MnCl 2 whereas the oxidation number of Cl changes from -1 in HCl to 0 in Cl2.

Therefore, MnO 2 is reduced to MnCl 2 and HCl is oxidized to Cl 2 .

oxidised-HCl

reduced-MnO2

Oxidising agent-MnO2

Reducing agent-HCl
