Why is fluoroacetic acid stronger acid than acetic acid?

Answers

Answered by aadharsh45

Explanation:

Electron withdrawing substituent increases the acidity of a carboxylic acid by dispersing negative charge by inductive effect and stabilizing the carboxylate anion. This effect is stronger in fluoro acetic acid than in chloroacetic acid because −I effect of F2 is greater than that of Cl2.
