Account for the following 1. Cl – CH2COOH is a stronger acid than CH3COOH 2. Carboxylic acids do not give reactions of carbonyl group.

Answer»

1. MonochLoroacetic acid is comparatively stronger acid than acetic acid. This is due to – Cl as a – I group 

2. Carboxylic acids do not give reactions of carbonyl group because the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen attached to hydrogen in the – COOH group are involved in resonance, which makes the carbon less electrophilic.
