Question: In the redox reaction

These are the options for the question:

MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2 (a) MnO2 is reduced to MnCl2& HCl is oxidized to H2O (b) MnO2 is reduced to MnCl2& HCl is oxidized to Cl2 (c) MnO2 is oxidized to MnCl2 & HCl is reduced to Cl2 (d) MnO2 is oxidized to MnCl2 & HCl is reduced to H2O

The correct answer is :

(b) MnO2 is reduced to MnCl2 & HCl is oxidized to Cl2
