    \[Mn{{O}_{2}}(s)+4HCl\,(aq)\xrightarrow{Heat}\] \[MnC{{l}_{2}}(aq)+2{{H}_{2}}O+C{{l}_{2}}(g)\] The equivalent weight of \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\] in the above reaction is :

    A)  23.4           

    B)  33.6

    C)  43.5           

    D)  53.6

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\underset{1\text{ }mole\text{ (}M\text{)}}{\mathop{Mn{{O}_{2}}(g)}}\,+4HCl(aq)\xrightarrow{\Delta }\]                           \[MnC{{l}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+\underset{(71\,\,g)}{\mathop{C{{l}_{2}}(g)}}\,\] \[\because \]  71 g of \[C{{l}_{2}}\] is displaced by Mg of \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] 35.5 g of \[C{{l}_{2}}\] is displaced by \[\frac{M\times 35.5}{71}\]                 \[=\frac{M}{2}g\] or \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] Eq. wt. of                 \[Mn{{O}_{2}}=\frac{Molecular\text{ }weight\text{ }of\text{ }Mn{{O}_{2}}}{2}\] \[=\frac{87}{2}=43.5\]
