the strongest acid amongst the following compounds is

The strongest acid amongst the following compounds is :

A. $$C{H_3}COOH$$

B. $$HCOOH$$

C. $$C{H_3}C{H_2}CH\left( {Cl} \right)C{O_2}H$$

D. $$ClC{H_2}C{H_2}COOH$$

Answer : $$C{H_3}C{H_2}CH\left( {Cl} \right)C{O_2}H$$

Solution :
The electron withdrawing $$\left( { - I} \right)$$ group $$ - Cl$$ withdraws electrons from $$O - H$$ bond and thus helps the cleavage of the $$O - H$$ bond releasing hydrogen as $${H^ + }.$$
