Which of the following is strongest Bronsted base?
Options
- AClO ⁻
- BClO ₂⁻
- CClO ₃⁻
- DClO ₄⁻
Correct answer
A. ClO ⁻
Step-by-step solution
HClO ₄ is the strongest acid among HClO , HClO ₂, HClO ₃ and HClO ₄ as more the number of oxygen atoms attached, more is the acidity of the molecule order of acidity is : HClO ClO ₂⁻> ClO ₃⁻> ClO ₄⁻
