JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 12th April Evening Slot - No. 14)

Thermal decomposition of a Mn compound (X) at 513 K results in compound Y, MnO2 and gaseous product. MnO2 reacts with NaCl and concentrated H2O4 to give a pungent gas Z. X, Y and Z, respectively, are :
KMnO4, K2MnO4 and Cl2
K2MnO4, KMnO4 and SO2
K3MnO4, K2MnO4 and Cl2
K2MnO4, KMnO4 and Cl2

Explanation

KMnO4 $$\buildrel {513\,\,K} \over \longrightarrow $$ K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2
(X) (Y)
MnO2 + NaCl + conc H2SO4 $$ \to $$ MnSO4 + NaHSO4 + H2O + Cl2
(Z)
