☆☞ Here is ur answer ☜☆

✔✔ Dichloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than chloroacetic acid because the two chlorine atoms inductively withdraw more electron density from the O—H group than a single chlorine atom.

✔✔ The pKa of dichloroacetic acid is therefore smaller than the pKa of chloroacetic acid.
