Which one of the following statements is not correct?

Question

$\textbf{Reduction potential of ions are given below:}$
\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \text{ClO}_4^- & \text{IO}_4^- & \text{BrO}_4^- \\ E^\circ = 1.19 \, \text{V} & E^\circ = 1.65 \, \text{V} & E^\circ = 1.74 \, \text{V} \\ \end{array} \]
The correct order of their oxidising power is:

Answer 1

Step 1: Analyze the oxidising action of Chlorine: Chlorine water (Chlorine + Water) acts as a strong oxidising agent. Reaction with Iodine: \[ \text{I}_2 + 5\text{Cl}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \to 2\text{HIO}_3 + 10\text{HCl} \] Here, Iodine ($ \text{I}_2 $) is oxidised to Iodic Acid ($ \text{HIO}_3 $).
Step 2: Compare with Option (B): Option (B) states that Chlorine oxidises iodine to Periodic Acid ($ \text{HIO}_4 $). This is incorrect. The product is Iodic Acid ($ \text{HIO}_3 $).
Step 3: Verify other options: (A) Chlorine oxidises ferrous ($ \text{Fe}^{2+} $) to ferric ($ \text{Fe}^{3+} $). (Correct: $ 2\text{FeSO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 + 2\text{HCl} $) (C) Bleaching action is due to oxidation by nascent oxygen from HOCl. (Correct) (D) Deacon's process is the oxidation of HCl by atmospheric oxygen in the presence of $ \text{CuCl}_2 $ to producing Chlorine. (Correct)
