Answer» Correct Answer - A As the oxidation state of halogen i.e, `-Cl` in this case incraseses acidity of oxyacid increases. `HClO` : Oxidation state of `Cl = +1` `HClO_(2)` : Oxidation state of `Cl = +3` `HClO_(3)` : Oxidation state of `Cl = +5` `HClO_(4)` : Oxidation state of `Cl = +7` Therefore, the correct order of acidity would be `HClO lt HClO_(2) lt HClO_(3) lt HCl O_(4)` |
