Q.

Reduction potential of ions are given below:

     ClO4-                         IO4-                             BrO4-

E°=1.19V         E°=1.65V             E°=1.74V

The correct order of their oxidising power is:                   [2024]

1 ClO4->IO4->BrO4-  
2 BrO4->IO4->ClO4-  
3 BrO4->ClO4->IO4-  
4 IO4->BrO4->ClO4-  

Ans.

(2)

              Oxidising power  reduction potential.

              So more is reduction potential of a specie, more is its ability to oxidize the other substance.

              Decreasing oxidising powerBrO4-(E°=1.74V)>IO4-(E°=1.65V)>ClO4-(E°=1.19V)
