NEET Questions Solved

Which of the following represents the correct order of acidity in the given compounds?

(a) F ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > ${CH}_{3}$ COOH > Br ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > Cl ${CH}_{2}$ COOH

(b) Br ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > Cl ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > F ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > ${CH}_{3}$ COOH

(d) ${CH}_{3}$ COOH > Br ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > Cl ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > F ${CH}_{2}$ COOH

(c) The acidity of halogenated acid increases with increase in electronegativity of the halogen present. So, the correct order is order is F > Ce >Br

F ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > Cl ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > Br ${CH}_{2}$ COOH > ${CH}_{3}$ COOH
