Question

Why does acidity increases with increasing in oxidation state?

Answer 1

Higher oxidation state implies higher amount of partial positive charge on the concerned element. And according to Lewis acids and bases theory,acidity depends on the ability to accept an electron pair which in turn is dependent on the positive charge on the element.
