1.	Which of the following is the correct orderr of acidity of carboxylic acids? (i) `Cl_(3) C C OOH gt Cl_(2)CHCOOH gt ClCH_(2)COOH` (ii) `CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH gt (CH_(3))_(2)CHCOOH gt (CH_(3))_(3)C COOH` (iii) `F_(2)CHCOOH gt FCH_(2)COOH gt ClCH_(2)COOH`A. (i) and (ii)B. (ii) and (iii)C. (i) and (iii)D. (i), (ii) and (iii)
Answer» Correct Answer - D The strength of the acid increases with the inductive effect of the electronegative group attached to it (-I effect). The strength of the acid decreases with the presence of electron releasing group.
