Detailed Solution

Hypochlorite ion : ClOΘ

Chlorate ion : ClO3Θ

Per chlorate ion : ClO4Θ

1)  Acidic order: HClO+1<HClO3+5<HClO4+7

Conjugate base order : ClO> ClO3> ClO4 

Question Image

In chlorate ion bond angle changes due to presence of lone pair on chlorine atom. While hypochlorite ion is linear and perchlorate ion is tetrahedral and there is no effect of lone pair on hypochlorite ion

(C) Disproportionation reaction of

 (i) hypochlorite ion : 3ClO2Cl+ClO3θ

 (ii) Chlorate ion :4ClO33ClO4+Cl

 (D) ClO+SO32SO42+ClB
