Q. The acidic strength of following acids have been arranged in order of decreasing acid strength. Identify the correct order.

Solution:

The acidic character of hypohalous acid depends on the electronegativity of halogen. As electronegativity value of halogen increases, the acidic strength of hyophalous acid increases.
