WHY ACETIC ACID IS STRONGER IN STRENGHT THAN CHLOROACETIC ACID ...?

1 answer:

6 0

For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A-

</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The atoms of an element are represented in a chemical line drawing with its chemical formula.

Explanation:

chemical structural drawing helps to represent the pattern for which an element is formed. Chemical elements are made up of atoms that represent their single state.

The line drawing is made up of lines (representing the chemical bond between atoms) and the atoms or various atoms that make up the element.
