Identify the correct statements from the following

  1. A (I) \(\mathrm{Au}\) is soluble in aqua regia but not \(\mathrm{Pt}\)
  2. B (II) Among the oxoacids of chlorine highest oxidation state possible for chlorine is +7
  3. C (III) Among the hydrogen halides lowest boiling point is for \(\mathrm{HCl}\)
  4. D (IV) The order of stability of oxides of halogens is \(\mathrm{Cl}>\) \(\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{I}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (II) Among the oxoacids of chlorine highest oxidation state possible for chlorine is +7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement (I) is incorrect because both, \(\mathrm{Au}\) and \(\mathrm{Pt}\) dissolve in aqua regia and form soluble compounds \(\mathrm{HA}_4 \mathrm{Cl}_4\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{PtCl}_6\). Statement (IV) is incorrect as the correct order of the stability of the oxides of…
