प्रश्न
Why is \[\ce{HCl}\] not used to make the medium acidic in oxidation reactions of \[\ce{KMnO4}\] in acidic medium?
विकल्प
Both \[\ce{HCl}\] and \[\ce{KMnO4}\] act as oxidising agents.
\[\ce{KMnO4}\] oxidises \[\ce{HCl}\] into \[\ce{Cl2}\] which is also an oxidising agent.
\[\ce{KMnO4}\] is a weaker oxidising agent than \[\ce{HCl}\].
\[\ce{KMnO4}\] acts as a reducing agent in the presence of \[\ce{HCl}\].

उत्तर
\[\ce{KMnO4}\] oxidises \[\ce{HCl}\] into \[\ce{Cl2}\] which is also an oxidising agent.
Explanation:
\[\ce{HCl}\] is not used to make the medium acidic in oxidation reactions of \[\ce{KMnO4}\] in acidic medium. The reason is that if \[\ce{HCl}\] is used, the oxygen produced from \[\ce{KMnO4 + HCl}\] is partly utilized in oxidizing \[\ce{HCl}\] to \[\ce{Cl}\], which itself acts as an oxidizing agent and partly oxidises the reducing agent.

Read the passage given below and answer the following question:
The transition metals when exposed to oxygen at low and intermediate temperatures form thin, protective oxide films of up to some thousands of Angstroms in thickness. Transition metal oxides lie between the extremes of ionic and covalent binary compounds formed by elements from the left or right side of the periodic table. They range from metallic to semiconducting and deviate by both large and small degrees from stoichiometry. Since electron bonding levels are involved, the cations exist in various valence states and hence give rise to a large number of oxides. The crystal structures are often classified by considering a cubic or hexagonal close-packed lattice of one set of ions with the other set of ions filling the octahedral or tetrahedral interstices. The actual oxide structures, however, generally show departures from such regular arrays due in part to distortions caused by packing of ions of different size and to ligand field effects. These distortions depend not only on the number of d-electrons but also on the valence and the position of the transition metal in a period or group.
In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage.
Assertion: Crystal structure of oxides of transition metals often show defects.
