Of the four oxyacids of chlorine the strongest oxidising agent in dilute aqueous solution is :

A

`HClO_(4)`

B

`HClO_(3)`

C

`HClO_(2)`

D

`HOCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`HClO_(4)` is the strongest oxidising agent. The correct order of oxidising power is `overset(+1)(HClO) lt overset(+3)(HClO_(2)) lt overset(+5)(HClO_(3)) lt overset(+7)(HClO_(4))`.
