Question

Which of the given acid is more acidic in nature?
1) HClO4 2) HClO3
3) HClO2 4) HClO

Answer 1

hi there✋✋✋✋

Within an oxyacid series such as HClO, HClO3, HClO2 and HClO4, as the number of oxygens bonded to the central atom increases, the oxidation number of the central atom increases causing a weakening of the O-H bond strength and an increase in the acidity. Most acidic: HClO4 > HClO3 > HClO2 > HClO

So , HCLO is more acidic in nature.
