A mole of compound is composed of `6.023 xx 10^(23)` atoms of hydrogen, 35.5g of chlorine and 48g of oxygen. The compound is

A

HClO

B

`HClO_2`

C

`HClO_3`

D

`HClO_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`6.023 xx 10^(23)` atom = 1 mol H atoms
35.5. g chlorine= 1 mol oi Cl atoms
48 g of oxygen = `48/16`= 4 mol of oxygen atoms
Hence, formula of the compound is `HCIO_4`
