arrange the following in the increasing order of acidic strength : acetic acid, fluoroacetic acid, chloroacetic acid
Answers
Acetic acid < chloroacetic acid < fluoroacetic acid.
Acid strength is the measure of the ability of the acid to lose its H^+ ion. The dissociation of a strong acid in solution is finely complete, omitting in its most concentrated solutions. Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid.
Acetic acid - the acid that gives vinegar its characteristic taste. The pure acid is a colorless viscous liquid or glassy solid.
Chloroacetic acid - Chloroacetic Acid is a white to light brown sand-like material. It is used to make dyes and other chemicals, as a herbicide, and disinfectant
Fluoroacetic acid - Fluoroacetic acid is a organofluorine compound. it is a colorless solid that is noted for its relatively high toxicity.
Arranging the 3 in increasing order we get,
Acetic acid < chloroacetic acid < fluoroacetic acid.
