The correct statements about the oxoacids, HClO 4 and HClO are,
Options
- Athe conjugate base of HClO 4 is weaker base than HClO .
- Bthe central atom in both HClO 4 and HClO   is   sp 3 hybridized.
- CHClO 4 is formed in the reaction between   Cl 2   and   H 2 O .
- DHClO 4 is more acidic than HClO   because of the resonance stabilization of its anion.
Correct answer
A. the conjugate base of HClO 4 is weaker base than HClO .
Step-by-step solution
(i) HClO 4 ⇌ H + + ClO 4 - ClO 4 - is resonance stabilized anion. HClO ⇌ H + + ClO - ∴ HClO 4 is more acidic then HClO . (ii) Cl 2 + H 2 O → HClO + HCl (iii) HClO 4 The central atom is sp 3 hybridised. The central atom is sp 3 hybridised. (iv) HClO 4 + H 2 O → H 3 O ⊕ + ClO 4 - since H 2 O is accepting H + from HClO 4 so H 2 O is stronger base compare to ClO 4 - .
