HCl is not used to make the medium acidic in oxidation reactions of `KMnO_4`, in acidic medium. Why?

A

Both HCl and `KMnO_4` act as oxidising agents

B

`KMnO_4` oxidises HCl into `Cl_2` which is also an oxidising agent

C

`KMnO_4` is a weaker oxidising agent than HCI

D

`KMnO_4` acts as a reducing agent in the presence of HCI.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
