Answer:
In the reaction MnO2 + 4HCl -> MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O , Cl (chlorine) is the substance which is oxidized from the HCl, and it is the reducing agent for the MnO2 as well. As Cl is the oxidized substance in HCl, thus it is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
Chlorine can be prepared by reacting HCl with MnO2. The reaction is represented by this equation.MnO2(s) + 4HCl(aq) → Cl2(g) + MnCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
