Trichloroacetic acid
Acetic acid
Dichloroacetic acid
Chloroacetic acid
Show Solution
The Correct Option is
A
Solution and Explanation
Acid strength correlates with dissociation extent and electron-withdrawing groups. Trichloroacetic acid exhibits the highest acidity among the listed acids due to the potent electron-withdrawing effect of its three electronegative chlorine atoms.
