MCQ
Cholrine gas is produced from $\text{HCI}$ by the addition of:
  • A
    $ \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 $
  • B
    $ \mathrm{KCl} $
  • C
    $ \mathrm{KNO}_3 $
  • $ \mathrm{KMnO}_4 $

Answer

Correct option: D.
$ \mathrm{KMnO}_4 $
$ \mathrm{KMnO}_4 $ being strong oxidising agent will oxidise $CI^-$ ion present in $\text{HCl}$ to form chlorine gas.
$2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4+16 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{KCl}+2 \mathrm{MnCl}_2+8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+5 \mathrm{Cl}_2$
