Question

30) In the reaction:
a MnO2 + 4HCI — MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2
a) Name the compound: i) oxidized ii) reduced
b) Define oxidation and reduction on its bases.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Class gets oxidised and MnO2gets reduced

Explanation:

Increment in oxidation no means oxidation and decrease means reduction

Answer 2

Answer:

oxidation is addition of oxygen or

removal of hydrogen

reduction is removal of oxygen or

addition of hydrogen

Explanation:

so in the above reaction,

Mno2 is reduced to Mncl2

and Hcl is oxidized to H2O
