your answer is here -

Nitromethane is more acidic because,

The H of Nitromethane i.e. CH3NO2 is acidic because of the electron withdrawing nature of NO2 group. The nitro group withdraws electron density on carbon towards itself which weakens the C-H bond and so the cleavage of C-H bond becomes easy and thus H making the H acidic.
