[edit] Systematic Name

Shouldn't this be the IUPAC name. Trifluoroethanoic acid? The link Systematic name in the side box goes goes there. Cian Moriarty 17:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TFA is a Weak Acid

Since it has a pKa and is not completely dissociated in water, TFA is actually a weak acid. It is a stronger acid than acetic acid (pKa = 4.75). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.234.90.214 (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC).
