Write the ionic equation for reaction between manganese dioxide and hydrochloric acid.

  1. $MnO _2(s)+ 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq) + Cl _2(g) + 2H _2O(l)$

  2. $MnO _2{(s)} + 4H^{+}{(aq)} + 2Cl^{-}{(aq)} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}{(aq)} + Cl _2{(g)} + 2H _2O{(l)}$

  3. $MnO _2{(s)} + 3H^{+}{(aq)} + 2Cl^{-}{(aq)} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}{(aq)} + Cl _2{(g)} + 2H _2O{(l)}$

  4. $MnO _2{(s)} + 4H^{+}{(aq)} + 2Cl^{-}{(aq)} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}{(aq)} + Cl{(g)} + 2H _2O({l})$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$MnO _2{(s)} + 4H^{+}{(aq)} + 2Cl^{-}{(aq)} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}{(aq)} + Cl _2{(g)} + 2H _2O{(l)}$

The salt formed on reaction of copper oxide with hydrochloric acid is :

  1. Cuprous chloride

  2. Cupric chloride

  3. Both formed in $1:2$ ratio

  4. Both formed in $1:3$ ratio


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

copper oxide $+$ hydrochloric acid $\rightarrow $ copper chloride $+$ water

 $CuO+2HCl \rightarrow  CuCl _{2}+H _{2}O$
