Question

What is the correct acid name for an aqueous solution of $HClO_3$ ?

Answer 1

Hint : As we know acid is a chemical species that donates hydrogen ions or accepts electrons or protons. In general it starts with hydro and then ends with -ic acid. There are exceptions to this rule. Not all the acid starts with hydro prefix.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
$HOCL{( = O)_3}$ perchloric acid,
$Cl( + VII);pKa \cong - 15$ , its salts are termed as perchlorates
$HOCl{\left( { = O} \right)_2}c$ chloric acid,
$Cl( + V);pKa \cong - 1.$ its salts are known as chlorates
$HOCl = O$ chlorous acid
$Cl( + III);pka = + 1.96$ its salts are known as chlorites
$HOCl$ hypochlorous acid
$Cl( + I);pka = + 7.53$ its salts are known as hypochlorite
Increase in oxygen substitution increases overall acidity
Hypochlorite salts are the active ingredient of bleach
So as a potent oxidant, see the below reaction
$^ - OCl + 2{H^ + } + 2{e^ - } \to Cl - + {H_2}O$
So we also got $HCl$ hydrochloric acid
$Cl( - I)$ its salts are called as chlorides
So the correct acid name is chloric acid.

Note :
Chloric acid is an oxoacid of chlorine, it is a strong salt with $pKa = - 2.7$ and it has oxidising nature. It is pyramidal in shape. it is thermodynamically unstable. It is colourless liquid and it is corrosive in nature
