Statement 1 : Dichloro and trichloro acids are stronger than monochloroacetic acid.
Statement 2 : An increase in the number of electronegative groups on the alkyl chain increases the strength of the acid.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
An increase in the number of electronegative groups on the alkyl chain increases the strength of the acid. Hence dichloro and trichloro acids are stronger than monochloroacetic acid.
