Question

Reduction potentials of the ions are given below:
**$$	ext{ClO}_4^-$$**: **$$E^\circ = 1.19 \, 	ext{V}$$**
**$$	ext{IO}_4^-$$**: **$$E^\circ = 1.65 \, 	ext{V}$$**
**$$	ext{BrO}_4^-$$**: **$$E^\circ = 1.74 \, 	ext{V}$$**
The correct order of their oxidising power is:

Accepted Answer

B. **$$	ext{BrO}_4^- > 	ext{IO}_4^- > 	ext{ClO}_4^-$$**
