The correct order of increasing hydration energy of the following conjugate bases of oxoacids of chlorine is
Options
- AC l O 4 - < C l O 3 - < C l O 2 - < C l O -
- BC l O - < C l O 2 - < C l O 3 - < C l O 4 -
- CC l O 3 - < C l O 4 - < C l O 2 - < C l O -
- DC l O 4 - < C l O 3 - < C l O - < C l O 2 -
Correct answer
B. C l O - < C l O 2 - < C l O 3 - < C l O 4 -
Step-by-step solution
As smallest cation is most hydrated here C l O 4 - has smallest central atom as it has +7 charge on it and on C l O 3 - ( + 5 ) , C l O 2 - ( + 3 ) , C l O - ( + 1 ) so the order of hydration energy is ClO − < ClO 2 − < ClO 3 − < ClO 4 −
