What is the empirical formula for perchloric acid?

HClO4
Perchloric acid is a mineral acid that is usually found as an aqueous solution. It is colourless and is stronger than sulfuric and nitric acid. The perchloric acid formula is HClO4.

What is the shape of perchloric acid?

Hint: Perchloric acid is monobasic so there will be one $Cl-OH$ bond and Phosphorous acid is dibasic so there will be two $P-OH$ bonds. It has tetrahedral geometry just like methane with bond angle 109.8.

How is perchloric acid made?

Commercially, perchloric acid is manufactured by either reaction of alkali perchlorates with hydrochloric acid or direct electrolytic oxidation of 0.5 N hydrochloric acid. Another commercially attractive method is the direct electrolysis of chlorine gas (Cl2) dissolved in cold, dilute perchloric acid.
