Give the correct order of acidity of
- A \(\mathrm{HClO}_4 < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}\)
- B \(\mathrm{HClO} < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_4\)
- C \(\mathrm{HClO}_4 < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO} < \mathrm{HClO}_3\)
- D \(\mathrm{HClO} < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{HClO} < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acidic strength of oxo-acids containing the same halogen are in the order: \[ \mathrm{HCl} < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_4 \] This is because \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)is the most stable due to dispersal of negative charge on four \(D\)-atoms (O being more…
