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.
