Which of the following orders of relative strengths of acids is correct ?

Answer»

`FCH_(2)COOH gt ClCH_(2)COOH gt BrCH_(2) COOH`
`ClCH_(2)COOH gt BrCH_(2)COOH gt FCH_(2)COOH`
`BrCH_(2)COOH gt ClCH_(2)COOH gt FCH_(2) COOH`
`ClCH_(2)COOH gt FCH_(2)COOH gt BrCH_(2)COOH`

SOLUTION :ACIDITY DECREASES with the decrease in electronegativity of HALOGEN i.e.,
`FCH_(2) COOH gt ClCH_(2) COOH gt BrCH_(2)COOH`
