MCQ
Which of the following reagent does not oxidize $HCl$ ?
  • A
    $PbO_2$
  • conc. $H_2SO_4$
  • C
    $MnO_2$
  • D
    $K_2Cr_2O_7/H^-$

Answer

Correct option: B.
conc. $H_2SO_4$
(b) $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ being weak reducing nature it can only be oxidize by strong oxidizing agent.

$(a)$ $2{\text{HCl}} + {\text{Pb}}{{\text{O}}_2} \to {\text{PbO}} + {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_2} \uparrow  + {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}}$

$(b)$ $HCl + conc.{H_2}S{O_4} \to No\,reaction$

$(c)$ $4{\text{HCl}} + {\text{Mn}}{{\text{O}}_2} \to {\text{MnC}}{{\text{l}}_2} + 2C{l_2} \uparrow  + 2{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}}$

$(d)$ $2{\text{HCl + }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_2}{{\text{O}}_7} + 12{{\text{H}}^ + } \to 2{\text{C}}{{\text{r}}^{3 + }}(aq.) + 2{{\text{K}}^ + }(aq.) + {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_2} \uparrow  + 7{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}}$
