There are four oxygen acids in which the chlorine atom has oxidation numbers I, III, and VII. Write the names and formulas of their calcium salts.?

Answer 1

The oxo-acids of chlorine are:

HClO - hypochlorous acid (ox. no. Cl = 1+)

HClO₂ - chlorous acid (ox. no. Cl = 3+)

HClO₃ - chloric acid (ox. no. Cl = 5+)

HClO₄ - perchloric acid (ox. no. Cl = 7+)

Ca(ClO)₂ - calcium hypochlorite

Ca(ClO₂)₂ - calcium chlorite

Ca(ClO₃)₂ - calcium chlorate

Ca(ClO₄)₂ - calcium perchlorate
