The acids of chlorine having oxygen are the oxy acids , they are four ,HClO hypochlorous acid, HClO2 chlorous acid, HClO3 chloric acid and HClO4 perchloric acid, in these acids the oxidation no of oxygen are +1 ,+3 ,+5 and +7 respectively, the hypochlorous acid only exists in water. with the rise of no of oxygen atoms the acidic strength of oxy acids increases so perchloric acid is the strongest acid among these.

∙ 11y agoAn oxyacid is an acid that contains an oxygen atombonded to a hydrogen atom and at least one other element.
Also Known As: oxoacid
Examples:
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and nitric acid (HNO3) are all oxyacids.

What is the oxidation state of Cl in HClO3?
+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1. Therefore, the single chlorine atom must have an oxidation state of +5 for the total oxidation states to add to zero.+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1
What are the oxyacids elements?
Any acid that contains hydrogen and an oxyanion is referred to as an oxyacid. * An oxyanion is a polyatomic ion that contains oxygen
What is free chlorine in a pool?
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Is chlorine explosive?
Is chlorine explosive?Chlorine alone is not explosive.
What is chlorine an example of?
chlorine
Why fluorine cannot form oxyacids?
Fluorine can not form oxyacids because fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, and oxyacids are formed only from elements that are less electronegative than oxygen.
Why aluminum is passive towards oxyacids?
aluminium is passive towards oxyacids due to formation of protevtive layer of oxide. this protective layer resists the contact of aluminium with water or oxygen thatswhy aluminium is passive towards oxyacids
Acids that have three or more elements?
Sulfuric acid, Sulfurous acid, Nitric acid
What is the oxidation number of HClO2?
In oxyacids, oxygen is always taken to have an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen to have an oxidation state of +1. Therefore, in this compound, chlorine must have an oxidation state of +1 for the charges to balance.
What is the oxidation state of Cl in HClO3?
+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1. Therefore, the single chlorine atom must have an oxidation state of +5 for the total oxidation states to add to zero.+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1
What are the names and formulas for the oxyacids and iodine?
Oxyacids of iodine are:- iodic acid: HIO3- iodous acid: HIO2- hypoiodous acid: HIO- ortho periodic acid: HIO4- meta periodic acid: H5IO6
What is the IUPAC systematic name for ternary oxyacids HClO4(AQ)?
HCl4(AQ)
What is a non-oxyacids?
an acid which contain hydrogen and non metallic element and no oxygen.
How many valence electrons does a chlorine ion have?
Chlorine is number 17 in the periodic table, so using the electron shell arrangement,2:8:7:It has 7 electrons in its valance shell so its charge becomes Cl7+ when these 7 electrons are 'donated' (= lost to, as reductant) to oxygen (only in oxyacid or salt perchlorate).Other valence values are +5, +3 and +1 in oxyacids: chlorate, chlorite and hypochlorite, respectively.
What is the oxidation state Cl in HClO3?
+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1. Therefore, the single chlorine atom must have an oxidation state of +5 for the total oxidation states to add to zero.+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1
Why cant fluorine form oxyacids?
in my opinion flourine is very electronegative and it cannot exist in positive oxidation states in its compounds .in oxyacids of halogens ,oxygen carries a negative charge while the halogen carries a positive charge.the electronegativity of flourine is 4,while that of oxygen is 3.5. so due to high value of electronegativity ,flourine shows reluctance to form positive oxidation states and donot form oxyacids........
What is the part of oxyacids?
H2 and a polyatomic ion e.g.) H2CO3 (carbonic acid) hope that helps:)
