Answer 1

Answer:

HClO4 is a strong acid. It's conjugate base ClO4- is a very weak base. HClO4 is a strong acid.

Answer 2

Perchloric acid is a monobasic acid, that is the basicity of perchloric acid is 1.

• Basicity of a compound is normally determined based on the number of hydroxyl groups (-OH) that can be donated.
• The structure of perchloric acid is depicted in the attachment (check for the structure).
• HClO₄, perchloric acid, has a chlorine atom that is bonded to three oxygen atoms, through three double bonds, and one hydroxyl group by a single bond.
• This hydroxyl group is available for donation and hence perchloric acid is a monobasic acid.
