Well, you got $H O C l$ $HOCl$ , $H C l O_{2}$ $HClO_2$ , $H C l O_{3}$ $HClO_3$ , $H C l O_{4}$ $HClO_4$ ....

Explanation:

We might facilely expect that as oxygen substitution increases on the acid, then acid strength INCREASES.....

$H C l O, H C l O_{2}, H C l O_{3}, H C l O_{4} - ----------------- \to increasing acid strength$ $stackrel(HClO, HClO_2, HClO_3, HClO_4)rarr" increasing acid strength"$

And so now this is your job....find the $K_{a}$ $K_a$ values of the acids on the web or your text....and give the order....and then try to rationalize the order of acidity on the basis of enthalpy and entropy.
