The ascending order of reactivity is HI >HBr>HCl. The rising order of halogen reactivity corresponds to the rise in bond energy.
The intermediate carbocation formed in the reactions of HI, HBr and HCl with propane is the same and the bond energy of HCl, HBr and HI is 430.5 kJ mol-1, 363.7 kJ mol-1 and 296.8 kJ mol-1 respectively. What will be the order of reactivity of these halogen acids?
