The correct order of acidity of the following compounds is

  • A
    $\mathrm{HOCl} \lt \mathrm{HClO}_2 \lt \mathrm{HClO}_4 \approx \mathrm{HIO}_4$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{HOCl} \lt \mathrm{HClO}_2 \lt \mathrm{HIO}_4 \lt \mathrm{HClO}_4$
  • C
    $\mathrm{HIO}_4 \approx \mathrm{HClO}_4 \lt \mathrm{HClO}_2 \lt \mathrm{HOCl}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{HOCl} \lt \mathrm{HClO}_2 \lt \mathrm{HClO}_4 \lt \mathrm{HIO}_4$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
