Statement-2 : Oxidation state of Cl in HClO₄ is +VII and in
HClO₃ +V.

Answer 1

Answer:

Both the statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.

Answer 2

Both the statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.

Explanation:

• The perchloric acid is the highest oxidation state of chlorine.

• Here the oxidation number of chlorine is +7.

• Chloric acid is the previous oxidation state of chlorine.

• Here the oxidation state of chlorine is +5.

• As oxygen is very electronegative, it draws more electrons from the chlorine.

• This basically tends to pull the electron from oxygen hydrogen bond too, making the perchloric anion.

• So the perchloric acid is more acidic than chloric acid
