Answer

The balanced chemical equation is: $ 4 HCl(aq) + MnO_2(s) \rightarrow MnCl_2(aq) + 2 H_2O(l) + Cl_2(g)$

Work Step by Step

Aqueous hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$ and solid manganese(IV) oxide$(MnO_2)$ are the reactants. Aqueous manganese(II) chloride $(MnCl_2)$, liquid water $(H_2O)$, and chlorine gas $(Cl_2)$ are the products. The balanced chemical equation is: $ 4 HCl(aq) + MnO_2(s) \rightarrow MnCl_2(aq) + 2 H_2O(l) + Cl_2(g)$
