Question:

Draw structures of the following compounds: 
I. Chloric acid 
II. Peroxy disulfuric acid

Show Hint

Chloric acid (\( \text{HClO}_3 \)) has a central chlorine atom bonded to three oxygen atoms. Peroxy disulfuric acid (\( \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_8 \)) contains two sulfur atoms connected by an oxygen-oxygen bond.

Solution and Explanation

1. Chloric Acid: Chloric acid has the chemical formula \( \text{HClO}_3 \). Its structure is: \[ \text{HO} - \text{Cl} = \text{O} - \text{O} - \text{O} \] In this structure, the chlorine atom is bonded to three oxygen atoms, with one of the oxygens being bonded to a hydrogen atom. 2. Peroxy Disulfuric Acid: Peroxy disulfuric acid has the chemical formula \( \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_8 \). Its structure is: \[ \text{HO}_3\text{S} - \text{O} - \text{O} - \text{SO}_3\text{H} \] In this structure, the sulfur atoms are connected by an oxygen-oxygen bond, and each sulfur is bonded to three oxygens, one of which is bonded to a hydrogen atom.
