    Why is Trifluoroacetic Acid more acidic than Trichloroacetic Acid?

    Yes, just look at the Bond Energy of H-F versus H-Cl or H-Br. HF has a pretty strong bond, look it up in a table, its tightly packed so the electronegativity is high (also because its nearly a noble gas), but F makes strong bonds in general. Because the bond strength is high, the acidity is...
