Explain why perchloric acid is a strong acid than sulphuric acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

O.S. of Cl in perchloric acid is + 7 while that of S in sulphuric acid is + 6

Due to higher O.S. and high electronegativity of Cl, `ClO_(3)` part of `HClO_(4)` pulls electrons of 0-H bond more strongly and break 0-H bond more easily to give `H^(+)` ion than `SO_(2)` part of `H_(2)SO_(4)`So `HClO_(4)` is strong acid than `H_(2)SO_(4)`.
