Question

Propenoic acid is stronger than propanoic acid but weaker than metanoic acid

Answer 1

The larger the positive inductive effect, the lesser will be the strength of an acid. Similarly in formic acid there is no alkyl group and hence no inductive effect takes place. same here, due to this fact propenoic acid is stronger than propanoic but weaker than mdthanoic acid
