HClO ₄ is a stronger acid than H ₂ SO ₄ due to which of the following reasons?
Options
- A1, 2 and 3
- B1, 2 and 4
- C1, 3 and 4
- D2, 3 and 4
Correct answer
B. 1, 2 and 4
Step-by-step solution
The oxidation state of Cl in perchloric acid HClO ₄ is +7 while that of S in sulphur acid is +6 . Greater the oxidation state of the central atom, more readily is the cleavage of O - H bond. So, statements 1,2 and 4 are correct.
