What is the acidity of chlorine containing carboxylic acid?
In a carboxylic acid group the presence of halogens (such as fluorine) on adjacent carbons increases the acidity of the carboxylic acid group by stabilizing the carboxylate conjugate base.
Due to the inductive effect of the chlorine atom the electron density is reduced over the already weakened O-H bond in the carboxylic moiety (due to the presence of alpha carbonyl group) which in turn make a stronger acid.
