Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryIonic Equilibrium
The aqueous solution of which of the following salt will have the lowest pH ?
Options
- ANaClO ₃
- BNaClO
- CNaClO ₄
- DNaClO ₂
Correct answer
C. NaClO ₄
Step-by-step solution
aligned & NaClO ₄ Na ⁺+ ClO ₄⁻ & NaClO ₃ Na ⁺+ ClO ₃⁻ & NaClO ₂ Na ⁺+ ClO ₂⁻ & NaClO Na ⁺+ ClO ⁻ aligned In aqueous solution, these compounds decompose into ions. ClO ₄⁻ will most easily abstract proton from water molecules. So it will be most acidic.
