Identify strongest oxoacid of halogen from following.
- A Hypochlorous acid
- B Chlorous acid
- C Chloric acid
- D Perchloric acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Perchloric acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Increasing order of acid strength is:
\(\mathrm{HOCl} < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_4\)
Hence, perchloric acid \(\left(\mathrm{HClO}_4\right)\) is the strongest acid, among the oxoacids of chlorine.
\(\mathrm{HOCl} < \mathrm{HClO}_2 < \mathrm{HClO}_3 < \mathrm{HClO}_4\)
Hence, perchloric acid \(\left(\mathrm{HClO}_4\right)\) is the strongest acid, among the oxoacids of chlorine.
