Oxyacids of chlorine

The oxyacids of chlorine are HCLO (Hypochlorous acid), HCLO2 (Chlorous acid), HCLO3 (Chloric acid) and HCLO4 (Perchloric acid).

1. Hypochloric acid or chloric(1)acid (HCLO)

It is formed by passing chlorine gas through water.

Cl2(g) + H2O (l) ----------> Na2SO4(aq) + 2 HCl (aq)

2. Chlorous acid or chloric (3)acid (HClO2)

It is prepared by treating barium chlorate with sulphuric acid.

Ba(ClO2)2 + H2SO4 -----------> 2HClO2 + BaSO4

3. Chloric acid or chloric(5)acid (HClO4)

Perchloric acid is prepared by treating barium perchlorate with sulphuric acid.

Ba(ClO4)2 + H2SO4 ------------> 2HClO3 + BaSO4

4. Perchloric acid or chloric (6) acid

Perchloric acid is prepared by treating barium perchlorate with sulphuric acid.

Ba(ClO4)2 + H2SO4 -----------> 2HClO4 + BaSO4
