Stronger Acid, Trichloracetic Acid Or Which Would You Expect To Be The Stronger Acid, Trichloracetic Acid Or Trifluoracetic Acid?

Which would you expect to be the stronger acid, trichloracetic acid or trifluoracetic acid? - stronger acid, trichloracetic acid or

Trifluoroacetic acid, because F is more electronegative than Cl This extract electrons from the carboxylic acid is rather the negative carboxylic acids anions and cations with hydrogen to form.

The answer is, trichloroacetic

HF because it is a weak acid ... Therefore, trichloroacetic acid is also low
