Answer» Acidity increases with increasing number of electron withdrawing substituents on the α – carbon atom. For example, Cl3C – COOH > Cl2CH – COOH > Cl – CH2COOH > CH2COOH The effect of various, electron withdrawing groups on the acidity of a carboxylic acid follows the order, – NO2 > – CN > – F > – Cl > – Br > – I > Ph |
