Explain the following observations: (a) For a given oxidationstate, the acid strength of the oxyacid in aqueous solutiondecreases in the order chlorine > bromine > iodine.(b) Hydrofluoric acid cannot be stored in glass bottles.(c) HI cannot be prepared by treating NaI with sulfuricacid. (d) The interhalogen ICl3 is known, but BrCl3 is not.

The chief chemist of the Brite-Metal Electroplating Co. isrequired to certify that the rinse solutions that are discharged from the company’s tin-plating process into the municipal sewer system contain no more than 10 ppm (parts per million) by mass of Sn2+. The chemist devises the following analytical procedure to determine the concentration. At regular intervals, a 100-mL (100-g) sample is withdrawn from the waste stream and acidified to pH = 1.0. A starch solution and 10 mL of 0.10 M potassium iodide are added, and a 25.0-mA current is passed through the solution between platinum electrodes. Iodine appears as a product of electrolysis at the anode when the oxidation of Sn2+ to Sn4+ is practically complete and signals its presence with the deep blue color of a complex formed with starch. What is the maximum duration of electrolysis to the appearance of the blue color that ensures that the concentration of Sn2+does not exceed 10 ppm?
