What is the correct representation of reaction occurring when HCl is h

1.	What is the correct representation of reaction occurring when HCl is heated with MnO_(2) ?
Answer» `MnO_(4)^(-)+5Cl^(-)+8H^(+)RARR Mn^(2+)+5Cl^(-)+5H_(2)O` `MnO_(2)+2Cl^(-)+4H^(+)rarr Mn^(2+)+Cl_(2)+2H_(2)O` `2MnO_(2)+4Cl^(-)+8H^(+)rarr 2 Mn^(2+)+2Cl_(2)+4H_(2)O` `MnO_(2)+4HCl rarr MnCl_(4)+Cl_(2)+H_(2)O` SOLUTION :`MnO_(2)+4HCl rarr MnCl_(2)+Cl_(2)+2H_(2)O` or in IONIC form `MnO_(2)+2Cl^(-)+4H^(+)rarr Mn^(2+) + Cl_(2) + 2H_(2)O`
