B

`HClO_(4) lt HCIO_(3) lt HClO_(2) lt HCIO`

C

`HCIO lt HCIO_(4) lt HClO_(3) lt HCIO_(2)`

D

`HClO_(4) lt HClO_(2) lt HClO_(3) lt HCIO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Acidic strength of oxoacids of a particular halogen atom increases with increase in oxidation number thus the order of acidic strength is
`overset(+1)(HClO)lt overset(+3)(HClO_(2))ltoverset(+5)(HClO_(3))ltoverset(+7)(HClO_(4))`
