Fluoroacetic acid

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The acidic strength of carboxylic acids is directly proportional to the $-I$ (inductive) effect of the substituent attached to the alpha-carbon.$Acidic 	ext{ } strength \propto -I 	ext{ } effect$.The order of $-I$ effect for halogens is $F > Cl > Br > I$ due to the difference in electronegativity.Therefore,the order of acidic strength is $Fluoroacetic 	ext{ } acid > Chloroacetic 	ext{ } acid > Bromoacetic 	ext{ } acid > Iodoacetic 	ext{ } acid$.Thus,Fluoroacetic acid is the strongest acid.
