Arrange the following compounds in an increasing order of their acid strengths :
`(CH_(3))_(2)CHCOOH, CH_(3)CH_(2)CH(Br)COOH, CH_(3)CH(Br)CH_(2)COOH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that + I-effect decrease while -I-effect increases the acid strength of carboxylic acids. The overall acid strength increases in the order.
`(CH_(3))_(2)CHCOOH lt CH_(3)CH(Br)CH_(2)COOH lt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH(Br)COOH`.
