Consider the following perhalate ion in acidic medium
ClO4-I,BrO4-II,IO4-III
Arrange these in the decreasing order of oxidizing power.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Standard reduction potential (in volts) of the perhalate ions are gives as below‐
ClO 4 −  +  2H +  +  2e − → ClO 3 −  +  H 2 O;  E o  = 1.19 V
BrO 4 −  +  2H +  +  2e − → BrO 3 −  +  H 2 O;  E o  = 1.74 V
IO 4 −  +  2H +  +  2e − → IO 3 −  +  H 2 O; E o  = +1.65 V
More the standard reduction potential, more is the tendency of perhalite ion to undergo reduction and stronger will be an oxidizing agent.
