solid MnO $_{2}$

B.

acidified KMnO $_{4}$

C.

acidified FeSO $_{4}$

D.

saturated NaCl(aq)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is B

Chlorine is a toxic gas and when it pollutes the air, it can be neutralized by using acidified KMnO4. The reaction between chlorine and acidified KMnO4 results in the formation of chloride ions, manganese(II) ions, and water, which are harmless. This is why acidified KMnO4 is used to restore air polluted by chlorine discharge.
