Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their acidic strength and also give reason for it. HF,HBr,HCl

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Acidic strength of oxyacids increases with decrease in atomic number. Electronegativity of the halogen atoms decreases in the order Cl > Br > I. More is the electronegativity, greater will be its electron attracting tendency. Hence, `H^(+)` ion will be-- released easily. So, increasing order of their acidic strength is HIO < HBrO < HClO. Also
