The following acids have been arranged in the order of
decreasing acid strength. Identify the correct order.
$$ClOH\left( {\text{I}} \right),BrOH\left( {{\text{II}}} \right),IOH\left( {{\text{III}}} \right)$$
A.
I > II > III
B.
II > I > III
C.
III > II > I
D.
I > III > II
Answer :
I > II > III
Solution :
Among oxyacids of the same type formed by different
elements, acidic nature increases with increasing
electronegativity. In general, the strength of oxyacids
decreases as we go down the family in the periodic
table.
$$HOCl\left( {\text{I}} \right) > HOBr\left( {{\text{II}}} \right) > HOI\left( {{\text{III}}} \right)$$
[ In halogen groups $$Cl$$ is above $$Br$$ and $$I$$ ]
