b) 2Na++2HCO3+2H++SO242Na++SO24+2H2O+CO2
C
a) MnO2+4H++3ClMn2++Cl+2H2O+Cl2,
b) 2Na++2HCO3+2H++SO242Na++SO24+2H2O+CO2
D
None of these

Solution

## The correct option is C a) $$MnO_2 + 4H^++ 4Cl^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+} + 2Cl^- + 2H_2O + Cl_2$$, b) $$2Na^+ + 2{HCO}^{-}_3 + 2H^+ + SO^{2-}_4 \rightarrow 2Na^+ + SO^{2-}_4 + 2H_2O + CO_2$$(a) In the first reaction, $$MnCl_2$$ and $$HCl$$ are ionic in nature. Therefore, the reaction in ionic form is as follows:$$\therefore MnO_2 + 4H^++ 4Cl^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+} + 2Cl^- + 2H_2O + Cl_2$$ (Taking $$2Cl^-$$ common)(b) In the second reaction, $$NaHCO_3, H_2SO_4$$ and $$Na_2SO_4$$ are ionic in nature.Therefore, the reaction in ionic form is as follows:$$2Na^+ + 2{HCO}^{-}_3 + 2H^+ + SO^{2-}_4 \rightarrow 2Na^+ + SO^{2-}_4 + 2H_2O + CO_2$$ (Taking $$SO^{2-}_4$$ common) or $$2Na^+ + 2{HCO}^{-}_3 + 2H^+ + SO^{2-}_4 \rightarrow 2Na^+ + 2H_2O + CO_2$$.Chemistry
