Oxyacids are when acids that have OH groups and mostly likely have additional oxygen atoms attached to a central atom. Examples of this would be sulfuric acid, Chloric, and Chlorous. Basically, when the OH is attached to a central atom that is high in electronegativity, such as Fluorine, will be high in acidity.
To determine which would be more acidic between Chloric and Chlorous would depend mainly on which has the most oxygen atoms attached to the central atom. So Chloric would be more acidic then Chlorous.
Oxyacids are acids that contain an oxygen molecule and that have at least one hydrogen bounded to that specific oxygen. Oxyacids also contain the "obvious" characteristic of having the ability form an ion by the loss of one or more protons. Also, a good point to realize is that oxyacid's central atom electronegativity is based on the number of oxygen atoms that are bound to it, and this also determines the oxyacid's acidity. So, when the number of oxygen molecules bounded to the central atom increases the oxyacid's acidity increases thusly.

ReplyDeleteChloric Vs Chlorous acid, both have Chlorine atom, how do you determine the acidity of these acids?
