Vedclass · Answer

(D) $HOCl$ (or $HClO$) is the strongest oxidising agent among the given oxyacids of chlorine. The oxidising power depends on the ease with which the chlorine atom can be reduced. In $HOCl$,the oxidation state of chlorine is $+1$,which can easily be reduced to $Cl^-$ (oxidation state $-1$). The correct order of oxidising power is $HOCl > HClO_2 > HClO_3 > HClO_4$.
