Question

The incorrect statement about the oxoacids, HClO4 and ClO , is (A) The central atom in both HClO4 and HClO is sp3 hybridized (B) HClO4 is formed in the reaction between Cl2 and H2O (C) The conjugate base of HClO4 is weaker base than H2O (D) HClO4 is more acidic than HClO because of the resonance stabilization of its anion

Cl2+H2O arrow HCl+HOCl Acidic: underseta c i d - 1H C l O4> underseta c i d - 2H3 O+ Basic: undersetC . B . - 1ClO4- < undersetC . B . - 2H2 O Solution

Resonance stabilization

Q. The incorrect statement about the oxoacids, $H Cl O_{4}$ and $ClO$ , is

The central atom in both $H Cl O_{4}$ and $H ClO$ is $s p^{3}$ hybridized

$H Cl O_{4}$ is formed in the reaction between $C l_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$

The conjugate base of $H Cl O_{4}$ is weaker base than $H_{2} O$

$H Cl O_{4}$ is more acidic than HClO because of the resonance stabilization of its anion

$C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to H Cl + H OCl$

Acidic: $a c i d - 1 H Cl O_{4} > a c i d - 2 H_{3} O^{+}$

Basic: $C . B . - 1 Cl O_{4}^{-} < C . B . - 2 H_{2} O$

Resonance stabilization

Q. The incorrect statement about the oxoacids, HClO4​ and ClO , is

The central atom in both HClO4​ and HClO is sp3 hybridized

HClO4​ is formed in the reaction between Cl2​ and H2​O

The conjugate base of HClO4​ is weaker base than H2​O

HClO4​ is more acidic than HClO because of the resonance stabilization of its anion
