    Which among the following is the strongest acid?

    A) \[H(ClO)O\]                

    B) \[H(ClO){{O}_{3}}\]

    C) \[H(ClO)\]                   

    D) \[H(ClO){{O}_{2}}\]  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As acidic strength \[\propto \]Oxidation number. The correct order is \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{HClO}}\,\,\,\,\,<\overset{+3}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{2}}}}\,\,\,\,\,<\overset{+5}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,\,\,\,\,<\overset{+7}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{4}}}}\,\] Hence, the correct option is [b].
