Question
A violet compound of manganese (A) decomposes on heating to liberate oxygen and compounds (B) and (C) of manganese are formed. Compound (C) reacts with KOH in the presence of potassium nitrate to give compound (B). On heating compound (C) with conc. \[\ce{H2SO4}\] and \[\ce{NaCl}\], chlorine gas is liberated and a compound (D) of manganese along with other products is formed. Identify compounds A to D and also explain the reactions involved.

Solution
The compounds A, B, C and D are given as under:
A = \[\ce{KMnO4}\]
B = \[\ce{K2MnO4}\]
C = \[\ce{MnO2}\]
D = \[\ce{MnCl2}\]
The reactions are explained as under:
\[\ce{\underset{(A)}{KMnO4} ->[Δ] \underset{(B)}{K2MnO4} + \underset{(C)}{MnO2} + O2}\]
\[\ce{MnO2 + KOH + O2 -> 2K2MnO4 + 2H2O}\]
\[\ce{MnO2 + 4NaCl + 4H2SO4 -> \underset{(D)}{MnCl2} + 2NaHSO4 + 2H2O + Cl2}\]
