Question

Write equation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid with manganese dioxide

Answer 1

Part one: Introduction

• The Hydrochloric acid $\left(HCl\right)$ is strongest acid .
• This acid is corrosive in nature.

Part two: The reaction with Manganese dioxide$\left(Mn{O}_2\right)$

• Here concentrated Hydrochloric acid $\left(HCl\right)$ is reacted with Manganese dioxide $\left(Mn{O}_2\right)$
• The reaction gives Manganese chloride $\left(MnC{l}_2\right)$, chlorine gas $\left(C{l}_2\right)$ and water $\left(H_{2}O\right)$

$$\begin{gathered} Mn{O}_2\left(s\right)+4HCl\left(l\right)\to MnC{l}_2\left(l\right)+2H_{2}O\left(l\right)+C{l}_2\left(g\right) \\ ManganeseHydrochloricManganesewaterChlorine \\ dioxideacidchloride \end{gathered}$$
