Answer:
Fluoroacetic acid is more acidic than chloroacetic acid, which is more acidic than bromoacetic acid. Figure AB12. ... In these haloacetic acids, the halogen can stabilize the conjugate anion via inductive Delocalization. In an inductive effect, electronegative atoms can draw electron density toward themselves.

Answer:
Fluoroacetic acid more acidic than chloroacetic acid.
Electron withdrawing substituent increases the acidity of carboxylic acid by dispersing negative charge by inductive effect and stabilizing the carboxylate anion. This effect is stronger in fluoroacetic acid than in chloroacetic acid because −I effect of F2 is greater than that of Cl2 .
