Question

Explain this one....​

Answer 1

Explanation:

because HOCl is stronger oxidizing agent than HClO4 because it have lowest oxidizing state .Hence HClO4 is weaker than HOCl

Answer 2

Answer:

HOCl has maximum oxidizing power of other acids mentioned

Explanation:

We know that,

• more the oxidation number, more the acidic nature
• more the acidic nature, more the reducing nature
• more the reducing nature, less is the oxidizing nature

$\boxed{\rm{Oxidizing\ number \propto Acidic\ nature \propto Reducing\ nature\propto \dfrac{1}{Oxidising\ nature} }}$

As, here, HOCl has less oxidation number, it has more oxidizing power
