    Which is the strongest acid in the following?                                                                                    [NEET 2013]

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]       

    B)      \[HCl{{O}_{3}}\]         

    C)  \[HCl{{O}_{4}}\]        

    D)       \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The strength of oxyacids can also be decided with the help of the oxidation number central atom.
    Higher the oxidation number of central atom, more acidic is the oxyacid. \[{{H}_{2}}\overset{+\,6}{\mathop{S}}\,{{O}_{4}},HC\overset{+}{\mathop{l}}\,{{\overset{5}{\mathop{O}}\,}_{3}},H\overset{+}{\mathop{Cl}}\,{{\overset{7}{\mathop{O}}\,}_{4,}}{{H}_{2}}\overset{+}{\mathop{S}}\,{{\overset{4}{\mathop{O}}\,}_{3}}\]
