Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form potassium chloride (KCl), manganese chloride (MnCl2), water (H2O), and chlorine gas (Cl2). The balanced chemical equation is 2KMnO4 + 16HCl → 2KCl + 2MnCl2 + 8H2O + 5Cl2. Select the correct ratios of each of the following substances.KMnO4:KCl =
