Fluroacetic acid is more acedic than chloroacetic acid. The stronger the ewg (electron withdrawing group), the more acidic the compound. This is because the ewg shifts the equilibrium towards the ionized form.

∙ 12y agoThe difference will depend on the electron attracting power of
- the alpha-chloro atom (->-Cl) in monochloroacetic acid (pKa=2.86(carboxyl))
compared to
- the alpha-amino (->-NH2) group in glycine (pKa=2.34(carboxyl), pKa=9.6(amino))
The strongest attractor giving the highest acidity (lowest pKa=2.34 for glycine).

What is more stronger acetic acid or ethanol?
Acetic acid is a stronger acid. Ethanol is an alcohol which is slightly acidic but usually neutral in nature.
What is more acidic vinegar or citric acid?
Vinegar is not the same thing as citric acid; vinegar is acetic acid. Acetic acid and citric acid are both weak acids, but citric acid is slightly more acidic.
Difference between 0.1 M acetic acid and glacial acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid doesn't have water in it. Acetic acid ordinarily would be in a solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid, but it can be very concentrated. Glacial acetic acid is a acetic acid of a high purity more then 99.75 %
What is more acidic acetic acid or formic acid or prop ionic acid?
Formic acid is more acidic because formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
If you have concentrated forms of hydrochloric acid strong acid and acetic acid a weak acid which is more acidic which has more hydrogen ions?
Hydrochloric acid has more hydrogen ions and therefore is the stronger acid.

What does vinegar have that lemon juice doesn't have?
It has a different type of acid. Vinegar has acetic acid, and lemon juice, which is slightly more acidic, has citric acid.
Why formic acid more acidic than acidic acid?
Formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
Is the pH of 25 acetic acid higher than 0.25 hydrochloric acid?
There is no substance with a pH of 25. But the lower the pH, the more acidic a solution.
Why is chloro acetic acid stronger than acetic acid?
Actually, benzoic acid is the stronger acid when compared to ethanoic acid. This is due to the delocalisation of the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom into the benzene, increasing the polarity of the -OH bond and thus makes the cleaving of the H+ ion easier. The delocalisation of electrons into the benzene ring also stabilises the carboxylate ion. Therefore the position of equilibrium lies more to the right and this shows that benzoic is a more acidic acid. The simplified version is that a benzene ring is electron withdrawing and a methyl group is electron releasing. The electron withdrawing power makes the releasing of the H+ ion easier.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than acetic acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid is stronger and more acidic than an equal concentration of acetic acid.Sulfuric acid is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water, whereas acetic acid is considered a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in water.See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about strong and weak acids.
Is acetic acid a strong acid?
It is a weak acid due to the incomplete ionisation of the acid in aqueous solution.
Why formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid?
Because it has a greater/higher Ka (dissociation constant). This is related to the ease with which the H+ can be released from the COOH group.
