Of the following compounds, which one is the strongest Bronsted acid in a aqueous solution?
- A \(\mathrm{HClO}_{3}\)
- B \(\mathrm{HClO}_{2}\)
- C \(\mathrm{HOCl}\)
- D HOBr
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{HClO}_{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\because\) Higher be the oxidation number of central atom in oxo-acids, more strongly it behave as Bronsted-acid. Oxidation number for \(\mathrm{Cl}\) in \(\mathrm{HClO}_{3} \rightarrow+5\) Oxidation number for \(\mathrm{Cl}\) in \(\mathrm{HClO}_{2} \rightarrow+3\) Oxidation…
