The incorrect statement about the oxoacids, H C l O 4 and C l O , is
Options
- AThe central atom in both H C l O 4 and H C l O is s p 3 hybridized
- BH C l O 4 is formed in the reaction between C l 2 and H 2 O
- CThe conjugate base of H C l O 4 is weaker base than H 2 O
- DH C l O 4 is more acidic than HClO because of the resonance stabilization of its anion
Correct answer
B. H C l O 4 is formed in the reaction between C l 2 and H 2 O
Step-by-step solution
C l 2 + H 2 O → H C l + H O C l Acidic: H C l O 4 a c i d - 1 > H 3 O + a c i d - 2 Basic: ClO 4 - C . B . - 1 < H 2 O C . B . - 2 Resonance stabilization
