1.

Arrange the acids (I) `H_(2)SO_(3) (II) H_(3)PO_(3) (III) HClO_(3)` in the decreasing order of acidityA. `I gt III gt II`B. `I gt II gt III`C. `II gt III gt I`D. `III gt I gt II`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Acidity is directly proportional to oxidation number. As the O. No. of S, P and Cl in `H_(2)SO_(3), H_(3)PO_(4)` & `HClO_(3)` is +4, +3 & +5 repsectively so decreasing order of acidity will be `III gt I gt II`.
