MnO2 + 4HCl MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

In the above equation, name the compound which is oxidized and which is reduced? (A S1)

In the given reaction, MnO2 + 4HCl MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

HCl is oxidized to Cl2 and MnO2 is reduced to MnCl2


Explanation: As we know that oxidation is reaction that involves the removal of hydrogen and reduction is a reaction that involves the removal of oxygen.


Thus, HCl is oxidized and MnO2 is reduced.
