    Which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent?

    A)  \[HOCl\]                             

    B) \[HCl{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[HCl{{O}_{3}}\]                              

    D) \[HCl{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Perchloric acid\[(HCl{{O}_{4}})\]is the strongest acid among these because the acidic character of oxoacid increases with increasing the oxidation number of a particular halogen atom. \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{HOCl}}\,<\overset{+3}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{2}}}}\,<\overset{+5}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,<\overset{+7}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{4}}}}\,\]
