Which of the following is used in the preparation of chlorine?

Which of the following is used in the preparation of chlorine?

Options

  1. AOnly MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_{2}
  2. B\quad Only KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}
  3. CBoth MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_{2} and KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}
  4. DEither MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_{2}, or KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}

Correct answer

C. Both MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_{2} and KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}

Step-by-step solution

Both MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_{2} and KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_{4} used for the preparation of chlorine by the action of conc. HCl\mathrm{HCl}MnO2+4HCl→MnCl2+2H2O+Cl22KMnO4+16HCl→2KCl+2MnCl2+8H2O+5Cl2\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{MnO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{MnCl}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\\ 2 \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}+16 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow2 \mathrm{KCl}+2 \mathrm{MnCl}_{2}\\ +8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+5 \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{array}$Chlorineisnotobtainedbydil.Chlorine is not obtained by dil.\mathrm{HCl}\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{ S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{ S}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$
