The reaction of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{HCl}$ results in

The reaction of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{HCl}$ results in
  1. oxidation of $\mathrm{Mn}$ in $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ and production of $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$.
  2. reduction of $\mathrm{Mn}$ in $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ and production of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$
  3. oxidation of $\mathrm{Mn}$ in $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ and production of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$
  4. reduction of $\mathrm{Mn}$ in $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ and production of $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$.

Solution



O.S of Mn changes from $+7$ to $+2$ hence reduction occurs and $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ is formed. .
