Question

Assertion: In the reaction: MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2 HCl is getting oxidised while MnO2 is getting reduced. Reason: The process in which oxygen is added to a substance is called oxidation. Whereas the process in which oxygen is removed from a substance is called reduction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both assertion and reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

Explanation:

Also, removing hydrogen is called oxidation and adding hydrogen is called reduction.

Answer 2

Both the assertion and reason are correct.

• The given reaction is-

$MnO_2+4HCl\rightarrow MnCl_2+2H_2O+Cl_2$

The process in which oxygen is added to a substance is called oxidation. Whereas the process in which oxygen is removed from a substance is called reduction.

• In this reaction $MnO_2$ releases oxygen and get reduced to $MnCl_2$ .
• $HCl$ accepts oxygen atom and oxidised to $H_2O$.
