Answer:

Cl⁻ was oxidized.

Explanation:

  • 4HCl + MnO₂ → Cl₂ + 2H₂O + MnCl₂

Oxidation can be defined as the process in which the oxidation number of a substance increases.

On the left side of the equation, Cl has a charge of -1 (in HCl); while on the right side of the equation Cl has a charge of 0 in Cl₂.
