With incomplete reduction of the pyrolusite mineral (manganese (IV) oxide), manganese (II) oxide was obtained.

With incomplete reduction of the pyrolusite mineral (manganese (IV) oxide), manganese (II) oxide was obtained. Write the reaction equation.

Incomplete reduction may result in different reaction equations.
For example, reduction with hydrogen proceeds as follows;
MnO2 + H2 = MnO + CO2.
Reduction with carbon as follows;
2MnO2 + С = 2MnO + CO2.
Also, carbon monoxide reduction occurs as follows:
MnO2 + CO = MnO + CO2.
And the last one is recovery with active metals, which occurs as follows:
MnO2 + Mg = MnO + MgO.
