The correct statement (s) about the oxoacids, HClO_(4) and HClO, is (are)

Answer»

the CONJUGATE base of `HClO_(4)` is weaker base than `H_(2)O`
the central atom in both `HClO_(4) and HClO` is `sp^(3)` hybridized
`HClO_(4)` is formed in the reaction between `Cl_(2) and H_(2)O`
`HClO_(4)` is more acidic than HClO because of the resonance stabilization of its ANION

Solution :`Cl_(2)` reacts with `H_(2)` to FORM HCl + HClO. As such it does not GIVE `HClO_(4)` and hence OPTION (c) is wrong. All other options are correct.
