    The correct order of acidity is

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    As the oxidation number of Cl-atbm increases from \[HClO\] to \[HCl{{O}_{4}}\](ie, \[+1\] to \[+7\]), the possibility of getting H atom as \[{{H}^{+}}\] ion by the rupture of \[O-H\] bond increases. Hence, the correct order of acidity is\[\overset{+1}{\mathop{HClO}}\,<\overset{+3}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{2}}}}\,<\overset{+5}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,<\overset{+7}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{4}}}}\,\]
