    Which of the following orders of relative strengths of acids is correct?

    A) \[FC{{H}_{2}}COOH>ClC{{H}_{2}}COOH>BrC{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    B) \[ClC{{H}_{2}}COOH>BrC{{H}_{2}}COOH>FC{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    C) \[BrC{{H}_{2}}COOH>ClC{{H}_{2}}COOH>FC{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    D) \[ClC{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{2}}H>FC{{H}_{2}}COOH>BrC{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[F-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH>\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (Electron-withdrawing\text{ }character \\  decreasing\text{ }from\text{ }L\text{ }to\text{ }R) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Cl-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH>}}\,\] \[Br-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH\]
