Question

Identify the substance oxidized substance reduced oxidizing agent and reducing agent mi note 2 + 4 hcl arrow mncl2 + 2 h2o + cl2

Answer 1

From the equation MnO₂ + 4HCl → MnCl₂ + 2H₂O + Cl₂ we can obtain the ionic equation so that we identify the oxidizing and reducing agent. Here, MnO₂ is reduced to MnCl₂ while HCl is oxidized to Cl₂. Therefor, MnO₂ is an oxidizing agent and HCl is the reducing agent.
