Reduction potentials of some ions are given below. Arrange them in decreasing order of oxidising power.

Options

A. `ClO_(4)^(-)gtlO_(4)^(-)gtBrO_(4)^(-)`
B. `lO_(4)^(-)gtBrO_(4)^(-)gtClO_(4)^(-)`
C. `BrO_(4)^(-)gtlO_(4)^(-)gtClO_(4)^(-)`
D. `BrO_(4)^(-)gtClO_(4)^(-)gtlO_(4)^(-)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Greater the SRP value of species higher will be its oxidising power.

Here, SRP = standard reduction potential.
