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 =1.19V
BrO 4 + 2H + + 2e BrO 3 + H 2 O; E o =1.74V
IO 4 + 2H + + 2e IO 3 + H 2 O; E o =+1.65V
More the standard reduction potential, more is the tendency of perhalite ion to undergo reduction and stronger will be an oxidizing agent.
