Which of the following represents the correct order for oxidising power of the given species \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}, \mathrm{BrO}_4^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{IO}_4^{-}\)?

  1. A \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{BrO}_4^{-}>1 \mathrm{O}_4^{-}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{BrO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{IO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{IO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{BrO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{BrO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}>1 \mathrm{O}_4^{-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{BrO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{IO}_4^{-}>\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reduction potential of the substance is the ability of the substance to be reduced. So, as the reduction potential increases, reducing ability of substance increases. It means oxidising power of the substance increases. The ability of the substance to make the other…
