Question

Among the following the strongest acid is

A. $$C{H_3}COOH$$
B. $$C{H_2}ClC{H_2}COOH$$
C. $$C{H_2}ClCOOH$$  
D. $$C{H_3}C{H_2}COOH$$
Answer :   $$C{H_2}ClCOOH$$
Solution :
Inductance effect distance depending factor. It decreases rapidly with distance. Therefore, as the distance of $$Cl$$ - atom increases the acidic character decreases.
