Question

Identify the correct decreasing order of oxidizing power.

विकल्प

• HClO > HClO₂ > HClO₃

• HClO₂ > HCIO > HClO₃

• HClO > HClO₃ > HClO₂

• HClO₂ > HClO₃ > HClO

Answer 1

HClO > HClO₂ > HClO₃

Explanation:

\[\ce{\overset{1+}{HClO} > \overset{3+}{HClO2} > \overset{5+}{HClO3}}\]

Oxidizing power of oxyacids of chlorine decreases as the oxidation no. of chlorine increases.
