    Which of the following reactions show the reducing property of hydrochloric acid?

    A) \[ZnC{{O}_{3}}+2HCl\to ZnC{{l}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O+C{{O}_{2}}\]

    B) \[Mg+2HCl\to MgC{{l}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}\]

    C) \[Mn{{O}_{2}}+4HCl\to MnC{{l}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+C{{l}_{2}}\]

    D) \[N{{H}_{4}}OH+HCl\to N{{H}_{4}}Cl+{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    HCl is oxidised by strong oxidising agents like manganese dioxide, lead dioxide, potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, etc. hence acts as a reducing agent. \[Mn{{O}_{2}}+4HCl\to MnC{{l}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+C{{l}_{2}}\]
