Question

Dichloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. This is due to the occurrence of (A) mesomeric effect (B) hyper conjugation (C) inductive effect (D) steric effect

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Dichloro acetic acid due to presence of two electron withdrawing chloro groups ( -I showing group) is more acidic than acetic acid ( +I showing -CH3 group).
