1.
In acidic solutions, the oxidizing power of MnO4-(aq) ion is strong, and it is reduced Mn2+(aq).
MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e- ≒ Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)
with standard reduction potential aaEo = +1.51 V
If other media, the oxidizing power of MnO4-(aq) ion becomes weaker, and the product is different. For example, in neutral solution:
MnO4-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 3e- ≒ MnO2(s) + 4OH-(aq)
with standard reduction potential aaEo = +0.59 V
==========
2.
Consider the following two half reactions:
MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e- ≒ Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) aaEo = +1.51 V
Cl2(aq) + 2e- ≒ 2Cl-(aq) aaEo = +1.36 V
Consider the following reaction :
2MnO4-(aq) + 16H+(aq) + 10Cl-(aq) → 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)
Standard e.m.f. = (+1.51) - (+1.36) = +0.15 V > 0
The reaction is feasible under standard condition.
In other words, MnO4-(aq, 1M) solution can oxidize HCl(aq, 1 M) under standard condition.

The greater the standard reduction potential, the higher is the tendency of the forward reaction (reduction) under standard condition, and the lower the tendency of the backward reaction (oxidation) under standard condition.
Standard reduction potentials:
(a) +1.36 V
(b) +0.53 V
(c) +0.77 V
(d) +1.07 V
(e) +1.51 V
(f) +0.26 V
Tendency of forward reaction: (e) > (a) > (d) > (c) > (b) > (f)
Tendency of backward reaction: (f) > (b) > (c) > (d) > (a) > (e)
