The following acids have been arranged in order of decreasing acid strength: (II), IOH (III). Identify the correct order.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
The electronegativity of the halogen atom determines the acid strength of hypohalous acids. As electronegativity decreases (Cl > Br > I), acid strength decreases.
Therefore, ClOH (I) > BrOH (II) > IOH (III).
