Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we will arrange the compounds HOCl, HClO2, HClO3, and HClO4 in order of (i) acidic strength and (ii) oxidizing power. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the Oxidation States of Chlorine in Each Compound 1. **HOCl**: - Hydrogen (H) = +1 - Oxygen (O) = -2 - To balance the charge: - Chlorine (Cl) = +1 (since +1 + (-2) + 1 = 0) ...
