Question:
Among the following, the correct order of acidity is:
HClO3<HClO4<HClO2<HClO
HClO2<HClO<HClO3<HClO4
HClO<HClO2<HClO3<HClO4
HClO4<HClO2<HClO<HClO3
Solution:
The increasing order of acidity is HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4
+1 +3 +5 +7
The acidic character of the oxyacids of halogens increases with an increase in the oxidation number of halogens.
