Question

Place the following in order of increasing acid strength. HBrO₂ HBrO₃ HBrO HBrO₄ A) HBrO₂ < HBrO₄ < HBrO < HBrO₃ B) HBrO < HBrO₂< HBrO₃< HBrO₄ C) HBrO₂ < HBrO₃ < HBrO₄< HBrO D) HBrO₄ < HBrO₂ < HBrO₃< HBrO E) HBrO < HBrO₄< HBrO₃< HBrO₂

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acid strength increases with the number of oxygen atoms. HBrO has the least, followed by HBrO2, HBrO3, and HBrO4 having the most, making them stronger acids in that order.
