1.	Account for the following :Cl - CH2COOH is a stronger acid than CH3COOH.
Answer» Chloroacetic acid has lower pK_a value than acetic acid; ‘Cl’ in chloroacetic acid shows –I effect, it creates less electron density on oxygen of carboxylic acid. Thus, release of proton becomes easier. In case of acetic acid, the state of affair is just opposite. Hence, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid.
