Answer: The substance that oxidizes concentrated HCL to chlorine is mangnese(IV) oxide.
Explanation:
When mangnese dioxide reacts with the hydrochloric acid, the products formed are mangnese chloride, water and chlorine gas.
The balance reaction is
MnO2+ 4HCl --> MnCl2+ Cl2+ 2H2O
The reducing agent used in the reaction is HCl and the oxidizing agent used in the reaction is MnO2.
