Identify the substance that is oxidised and reduced in the following reaction- MnO 2 + 4 HCl → MnCl 2 + 2 H 2 O + Cl 2

In the given reaction, MnO 2 is losing oxygen to form MnCl 2 and HCl is losing hydrogen to form Cl 2 . MnO 2 Manganese dioxide + 4 HCl Hydrochloric acid → MnCl 2 Manganese dichloride + 2 H 2 O Water + Cl 2 Chlorine Therefore, we can conclude- Substance that is oxidised and which is acting as a reducing agent is HCl . Substance that is reduced and which is acting as an oxidising agent is MnO 2 .
