pBlock ElementsII 1 Question 31

31. The correct order of acidic strength is

(2000, 1M)

(a) $\mathrm{Cl} _{2} \mathrm{O} _{7} > \mathrm{SO} _{2} > \mathrm{P} _{4} \mathrm{O} _{10}$

(b) $\mathrm{CO} _{2} > \mathrm{N} _{2} \mathrm{O} _{5} > \mathrm{SO} _{3}$

(c) $\mathrm{Na} _{2} \mathrm{O} > \mathrm{MgO} > \mathrm{Al} _{2} \mathrm{O} _{3}$

(d) $\mathrm{K} _{2} \mathrm{O} > \mathrm{CaO} > \mathrm{MgO}$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 31. (a)

Solution:

Corresponding acids are $\mathrm{HClO} _{4}, \mathrm{H} _{2} \mathrm{SO} _{3}$ and $\mathrm{H} _{3} \mathrm{PO} _{4}$. Hence, the order of acidic strength is

$\mathrm{Cl} _{2} \mathrm{O} _{7}>\mathrm{SO} _{2}>\mathrm{P} _{4} \mathrm{O} _{10}$
