The correct answer is: $\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{MnO}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$
$2 \mathrm{MnO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{KOH}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{~K}_{2} \mathrm{MnO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
$3 \mathrm{~K}_{2} \mathrm{MnO}_{4}+4 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}+\mathrm{MnO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{KCl}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
