A

NaClO

B

`NaClO_4`

C

`NaClO_2`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Acidic strength of oxy-acids of chlorine is in order
`HClO lt HClO_2 lt HClO_3 lt HClO_4`
Therefore, salts of these acids with a strong base (say NaOH), will be most basic, when the acid involved is weak. Thus NaClO will be most basic.
