    The correct order of acid strength is

    A)  \[HClO<HCl{{O}_{2}}<HCl{{O}_{3}}<HCl{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[HCl{{O}_{4}}<HClO<HCl{{O}_{2}}<HCl{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[HCl{{O}_{2}}<HCl{{O}_{3}}<HCl{{O}_{4}}<HClO\]

    D)  \[HCl{{O}_{4}}<HCl{{O}_{3}}<HCl{{O}_{2}}<HClO\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Correct order of acid strength\[\underset{+1}{\mathop{HClO}}\,<\underset{+3}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{2}}}}\,<\underset{+5}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,<\underset{+7}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{4}}}}\,\] \[\because \]Acid strength\[\propto \]oxidation number.
