Answer
1,1,1-Trichloroethanol is an acid more than 1000 times stronger than
ethanol.
Work Step by Step
EXPLAINATION.
1,1,1-Trichloroethanol is an acid more than 1000 times stronger than
ethanol because conjugate base of 1,1,1,-trychloroethanol more stable than than conjugate base of ethanol as we know that a substance having stable conjugate base is more acid than less stable conjugate base. conjugate base of 1,1,1,-trychloroethanol more stable because negative charge of oxygen is less due to 3-chloride group that are electron withdrawing groups, attached at adjacent carbon atom.
