CH2FCO2H is the stronger acid because the fluorine atom is nearer the carboxyl group and is, therefore, better able to exert its electron-withdrawing inductive effect. Remember: inductive effects weaken steadily as the distance between the substituent and the acidic group increases.

Is hydrochloric acid weaker than citric acid?
No, hydrochloric acid is stronger than citric acid.
Is acetic acid stronger than phosphoric acid?
No, acetic acid is much weaker,
Why acetic acid is weaker than iodoacetic acid?
Yes. due to the presence of electron withdrawing iodo group, iodoacetic acid will be stronger than acetic acid.
Is sodium hydrogen carbonate a weaker base than sodium carbonate?
Yes: hydrogen carbonate is a stronger acid, and therefore a weaker base, than carbonate.
Why HBr is weaker Acid than HCl?
actually HBr is stronger acid than HCl so i think you got something mixed up
Is hydrochloric acid weaker than citric acid?
No, hydrochloric acid is stronger than citric acid.
Is acetic acid stronger than phosphoric acid?
No, acetic acid is much weaker,
Is acetic acid stronger or weaker than vinegar once formed?
acetic acid is vinegar!
Why acetic acid is weaker than iodoacetic acid?
Yes. due to the presence of electron withdrawing iodo group, iodoacetic acid will be stronger than acetic acid.
Why benzoic acid is comaritively weaker acid than acetic acid?
Because acetic acid have methyl group ,a electron donating group
Is sodium hydrogen carbonate a weaker base than sodium carbonate?
Yes: hydrogen carbonate is a stronger acid, and therefore a weaker base, than carbonate.
Why HBr is weaker Acid than HCl?
actually HBr is stronger acid than HCl so i think you got something mixed up
Would you consider hydroiodic acid to be a stronger or a weaker than hydrochloric acid?
Both are strong acids (this means stronger than H3O+) but HI is stronger than HCl.
What make vinegar weaker than other acids such as sulfuric acid?
3/5 is my BirthDay
HBr is a stronger acid than HCl?
Yes but insignificant for practical use. Hydrogen iodide ( HI ) is even stronger! and HF is a significantly weaker acid than HCl.
Is Hydrochloric acid is stronger than carbonic acid?
hydroiodic acid is stronger than hydrochloric acid it easier for the dissociation of iodide ion than chloride ions due to weaker hydrogen-iodine bond than hydrogen-chloride bond.
Why aniline is weaker base than methylamine?
Since tha pka of the aniline ion is equal to 4.6, the anilinium ion is a stronger acid than the methylaminium ion, and aniline (c6h5nh2) is a weaker base than methylamine (ch3nh2).
