Answer:
CH2FCOOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH2BrCOOH > CH3COOH
Explanation:
CH2FCOOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH2BrCOOH > CH3COOH
More electronegative atom of halogen is , stronger acid will be.
Rank the carboxylic acids from strongest (1) to weakest (4) is [tex]CH_{2} FCOOH[/tex] > [tex]CH_{2} CICOOH[/tex]>[tex]CH_{2} BrCOOH[/tex]> [tex]CH_{3} COOH.[/tex] It can be detected by electronegativity.
An organic acid with a carboxyl group joined to an R-group is usually referred to as a carboxylic acid.
An atom and functional group's propensity to draw electrons to itself is known as electronegativity, which would be a chemical property.
It is known that as the electronegativity increases acidity increases. Fluorine is more electronegative than fluorine and Bromine. Hence, it will be more acidic.
