Therefore, these two elements show similar properties (physical and chemical properties). 132. (6) HCl is not used to make the medium acidic in oxidation reactions of KMnO, in acidic medium. The reason is that if HCTis used, the oxygen produced from KMnO, + HCl is partly utilised in oxidising HCI to Cl, which itself acts as an oxidising agent and partly oxidises the reducing agent. 193.
