HEY MATE!!
Yes, according to me 2-chlorobutanoic acid is a stronger acid than 3-chlorobutanoic acid. This is probably because the electronegative chlorine atom is closer to the -COOH (carboxylic acid) group and thus exerts a stronger (-) inductive effect and helps in the removal of proton (+H). In 3-chlorobutanoic acid, the effect is weaker as the chlorine atom is farther away.............

Answer:
Acid strength refers to the tendency of an acid, symbolised by the chemical formula HA, to dissociate into a proton, H⁺, and an anion, A⁻. The dissociation of a strong acid in solution is effectively complete, except in its most concentrated solutions.
