Question

Fluroacetic acid has lower pka value then acetic acid

Answer 1

Explanation:

Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids. Account for the fact that chloroacetic acid has a lower pKa value than acetic acid. The electron-withdrawing Cl group stabilizes the ClCH2COO- anion and increases the acidic strength. Hence, chloroacetic acid has a lower pKa value than acetic acid.
