Question

Which is more acidic. Give reason.
i) CH3 - COOH
ii) Cl-CH2 - COOH
iii) CH -CH2 -COOH​

Answer 1

Cl-CH2-COOH(Chloroacetic acid) is more acidic 

Explanation:

Cl-CH2-COOH(Chloroacetic acid) is more acidic than CH3-COOH(Acetic acid) because Chlorine(Cl) is a good electron withdrawing atom which produces a strong -I effect than that produced on acetic acid by CH3 group. Consequently the O atom in O-H group of COOH gains partial -ve and H atom gains partial +ve charge.
