Question
Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing acid strength (more acidic > less acidic)? Answer a. FCH2COOH > CH3COOH > CH3OH b. CH3COOH > ClCH2COOH > CH3OH c. CH3CH2OH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH d. FCH2COOH > CH3COOH > F2CHCOOH Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing acid strength (more acidic > less acidic)? Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing acid strength (more acidic > less acidic)? FCH2COOH > CH3COOH > CH3OH CH3COOH > ClCH2COOH > CH3OH CH3CH2OH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH FCH2COOH > CH3COOH > F2CHCOOH a. FCH2COOH > CH3COOH > CH3OH b. CH3COOH > ClCH2COOH > CH3OH c. CH3CH2OH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH d. FCH2COOH > CH3COOH > F2CHCOOHExplanation / Answer
(A) is correct
F pulls electrons, So H+ is easy to remove
