Question

Write Balance chemical reaction for preparation of chlorine with or without application heat​

Answer 1

Answer:

2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)

Explanation:

Chlorine is a diatomic halogen gas known for its greenish-yellow colour. It has a pungent smell and is only moderately soluble in water.

It is a very reactive gas and is never found in free state in nature.

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by oxidation of hydrochloric acid using KMnO4 as follows;

2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)

The set up does not need to be heated.
