Assign a reason for the following statements : Perchloric acid is a stronger acid than sulphuric acid. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :Greater the electronegativity and higher the oxidation state of the central atom greater is the acid strength. In `HClO_4` .Cl. is more ELECTRONEGATIVE than .S. in `H_2SO_4`. Secondly, CI shows +7 oxidation state whereas .S. is in +6 oxidation state. HENCE, perchloric acid is STRONGER than sulphuric acid | |
