3-chloro-propanoic acid, 2-2-dichloroacetic acid and propanoic acid the \(K_{a}\) values will be in the order,
- A 2 , 2-dichloroacetic acid \(>2\)-chloropropanoic acid \(>3\)-chloropropanoic acid \(>\) propanoic acid
- B 3-chloropropanoic acid \(>2\)-chloropropanoic acid \(>2,2\)-dichloroacetic acid \(>\) propanoic acid
- C 2, 2-dichloroacetic acid \(>\) 3-chloropropanoic acid
\(>2\)-chloropropanoic acid \(>\) propanoic acid - D 2, 2-dichloroacetic acid \(>\) propanoic acid \(>\)
2-chloropropanoic acid \(>3\)-chloropropanoic acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 2 , 2-dichloroacetic acid \(>2\)-chloropropanoic acid \(>3\)-chloropropanoic acid \(>\) propanoic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acidic strength \(\propto k_{a}\) values Due to - I-effect of electron withdrawing - Cl group, chloropropanoic acid is stronger acid than propanoic acid. Further, greater the number of electron withdrawing substitutents, greater would be the acidic strength. Inductive effect…
