Explain your answer.

A
  • (From strongest to weakest acid) H2SO4 > CH3CCl2COOH > CH3CH2COOH

Any 4:
- H2SO4 is fully dissociated / strong acid
- CH3CH2COOH / CH3CCl2COOH are partly dissociated / weak acids
- Cl is electron-withdrawing / electronegative
- alkyl group in CH3CH2COOH is electron-donating
- stabilises / destabilises anion OR weakens / strengthens O-H bond (linked correctly)
- correct ref. to donation of H+

  • (carbons are) sp2 hybridised
  • contains delocalised electrons in the pi bonds / system
  • (sp2 orbitals) overlap head-on to form sigma bonds
  • a p-orbital (from each carbon atom) overlaps sideways (with each other above & below the ring) forming pi bonds
