Question

Order the following acids in order of increasing strength: HBrO HBrO₃ HBrO₄ HBrO₂ A) HBrO < HBrO₃ < HBrO₄ < HBrO₂ B) HBrO₄ < HBrO₃ < HBrO₂ < HBrO C) HBrO < HBrO₃ < HBrO₂ < HBrO₄ D) HBrO < HBrO₂ < HBrO₃ < HBrO₄ E) HBrO₂ < HBrO₄ < HBrO < HBrO₂

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of oxyacids increases with the number of oxygen atoms. Therefore, HBrO < HBrO₂ < HBrO₃ < HBrO₄.
