Of the given anions, the strongest Bronsted base isA. `CIO^(Theta)`B. `CIO_(2)^(Theta)`C. `CIO_(3)^(Theta)`D. `CIO_(4)^(Theta)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Stronger is the acid, weaker is the conjugate base and vice versa. `{:(Base,,Acid),(CIO^(Theta),,HCIO),(CIO_(2)^(Theta),,HCIO_(2)),(CIO_(3)^(Theta),,HCIO_(3)),(CIO_(4)^(Theta),,HCIO_(4)):}` Acidic order: `HCIO_(4) gt HCIO_(3) gt HCIO_(2) gt HCIO` Conjugate base order: `CIO_(4)^(Theta) lt CIO_(3)^(Theta) lt CIO_(2)^(Theta) lt CIO^(Theta)` `:.` Strongest base `=CIO^(Theta)` |
