Using a reference source, look-up the structural formula for acetic acid. Replacing hydrogen atoms on the carbon with chlorine atoms causes an increase in acidity. The results are summarized below: Acid Formula Ka at 25 oC Acetic CH3COOH 1.8 x 10-5 Chloroacetic CH2 ClCOOH 1.4 x 10-3 Dichloroacetic CH Cl2COOH 3.3 x 10-2 Trichloroacetic CCl3COOH 2 x 10-1 Using Lewis structure as the basis of your discussion, explain the observed trend in acidities in the series. Calculate the pH of a 0.0100 M solution of each acid.
