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

Multiple Choice Options

A $FCH_2COOH>CH_3COOH>BrCH_2COOH>ClCH_2COOH$
B $BrCH_2COOH>ClCH_2COOH>FCH_2COOH>CH_3COOH$
C $FCH_2COOH>ClCH_2COOH>BrCH_2COOH>CH_3COOH$
D $CH_3COOH>BrCH_2COOH>ClCH_2COOH>FCH_2COOH$

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Acidity decreases as the �I effect of the group decreases, F is the most electronegative atom and hence it has highest �I effect among the halogens. FCH 2 COOH > ClCH 2 COOH > BrCH 2 COOH > CH 3 COOH
