View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
CH3CF2COOH>CH3CCl2COOH>CH3CBr2COOHC{H_3}C{F_2}COOH > C{H_3}CC{l_2}COOH > C{H_3}CB{r_2}COOH
The correct answer is CH3CF2COOH>CH3CCl2COOH>CH3CBr2COOHC{H_3}C{F_2}COOH > C{H_3}CC{l_2}COOH > C{H_3}CB{r_2}COOH because the acidity increases with the electron-withdrawing inductive effect (-I effect) of the halogens, and the -I effect decreases down the group (F > Cl > Br).
