Which of the following order of acid strengths are correct?

Correct answer: D. All of the above are correct order

  • A. HOI < HOBr < HOCl
  • B. HCl < HBr < HI
  • C. HIO4 < HBrO4 < HClO4
  • D. All of the above are correct order

Explanation

In HOX with increase in electronegativity acid strength increases. In H - X acid strength increases with decrease in bond energies. In HXO4 acid strength increases with decrease in size of X.
