Which of the following acids has the smallest dissociation constant ?A. `CH_(3)CHFCOOH`B. `FCH_(2)CH_(2)COOH`C. `BrCH_(2)CH_(2)COOH`D. `CH_(3)CHBrCOOH`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`BrCH_(2)CH_(2)COOH` is least acidic or has less `K_(a)` i.e., dissociation constant. It is (a) due to lesser `-I` effect of Br than F and (b) Br atom further away from `-COOH` group
