The selected answer is wrong:

in the production of dry chlorine gas, concetrated hydrochloric acid is mixed with pottasium tetraoxomanganate (VII)

REF: new school chemistry page 353, experiment 21.1: how to prepare chlorine by the oxidation of hydrochloric acid with pottasium tetraoxomanganate(VII)

the answer is wrong according to new school chemistry page 354
only tetraoxomanganate(vii) can react with HCL
without heat

if it was manganate(iv) oxide heat would be required

myschool is actually right.... MnO2 + HCl is d ideal method ... others are just subsidaries

The answer is C my school take note

Potassium tetraoxomagnate(vii) oxidizes concentrated hydrochloric acid to liberate chlorine.

2Kmo4 + 16Hcl___ 2Mncl2 + 2kcl + 8H20 + 5Cl2

The mixture in R is Kmo4 and conc Hcl

In the experimental setup above drops of conc hcl is added to kmno4 in R when this happens chlorine is evolved as well as small amount of hydrogen chloride,the mixture of gasses is passed through water and the hydrogen chloride dissolves leaving chlorine,the pure chlorine gas is then dried as it passes through concentrated teteraoxosulphate(vi) acid.

the answer is C why because when using potassium permanganate heat is not involved but when MnO2 is used heat will be required even though it's the accepted method

Based on the provided image and search results, in the diagram, R is a mixture of manganese (IV) oxide and concentrated HCl, which corresponds to option D. This mixture is commonly used in the laboratory preparation of chlorine gas. The reaction that occurs is:
MnO2(s) + 4HCl(aq) → MnCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l) + Cl2(g)
