Answer:2 nitroacetic acid is more acidic than 2 flouroacetic acid
Explanation:
The acidic strength of Carboxilic acid depends on the electron withdrawing nature of substitiuent and its pka value.
If the Subtituent is more electron withdrawing then it is strong acid.
If the pka value is less then it is more acidic.
The electron withdrawing power is of the order is NO2>CN>F>Cl
Pka value of 2 nitroacetic acid is 1.68
Pka value of 2 flouroacetic acid is 2.65
Therefore 2nitroacetiacid is more acidic
