List the hydrogen halide acids in decreasing order of reactivity in the following reaction `R-OH + HX to RX + H_2O`A. HBr gtHI gtHClgtHFB. HIgtHBrgtHClgtHFC. HIgt HFgt HBr gt HClD. HIgt HCI gt HBr gt HF |
Answer» Correct Answer - B The relative rate follows same order as of acidity (HI gt HBr gtHClgt HF) and the nucleophilicity of their coniugate anion, X- `(I^(-) gt Br^(-) gt Cl^(-) gt F^(-))` |
