MCQ
The strongest acid amongst the following compounds is :
  • A
    $CH_3COOH$
  • B
    $HCOOH$
  • $CH_3CH_2CH(Cl)CO_2H$
  • D
    $ClCH_2CH_2CH_2COOH$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$CH_3CH_2CH(Cl)CO_2H$
c
The electron withdrawing $( - I)$ group - $C l$ withdraws electrons from $O-H$ bond and thus the cleavage of the $O-H$ bond releasing hydrogen as $H^{\prime}$
