Why has monochloroethanoic acid higher pK_(a) value than dichloroethanoic acid ?

Justify : Trichloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than dichloroacetic acid (ii) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.

Explain: (a) Acetic Acid is a stronger acid than ethyl alcohol (b) Trichloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.

(A) Formic acid is a weaker acid than acetic acid. (R) pK_(a) of formic acid is less than acetic acid.

The pKa values of stronger acids are :

The pK_a value of formic acid is smaller than that of acetic acid.

Account for the following : (i) Benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel crafts reaction (ii) Pk_(a) value of chloroacetic acid is lower than Pk_(a) of acetic acid.
