Question #103539
Compare the relative acidities of ethanoic acid, propanoic acid, fluoroethanoic acid and iodoethanoic acid. Explain your answer giving appropriate answers.
Expert's answer
Ethanoic acid: pKa = 4.76
Propanoic acid: pKa = 4.87
Fluoroethanoic acid: pKa = 2.59
Iodoethanoic acid: pKa = 3.18
So, the most acidic is the fluoroethanoic acid, then iodoethanoic acid, then ethanoic acid, and the last one is propanoic acid.
