Answer:
HI
Explanation:
chlorine being a strong electron with drawing group. pulls the negative charge toward it self by inductive effect so that the negative charge density on the oxygen atom is reduced hence stabilizing the conjugate base of chloroacetic acid whil the negative charge of the oxygen atom in acetic acid is localized and the conjugate base is less stable.
so chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid due to the presence of a strong electron withdrawing group Chlorine
Formic acid is HCOOH and it is easy for H + TO DISSOCIATE IN SOLUTION..
