You leamed in lecture that phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol because its conjugate base (phenoxide ion) is stabilized by resonance. Strong acids have stable conjugate bases. a) Draw the relevant resonance structures for the conjugate bases of A and B. b) Which would you expect to be more acidic?

For the proper resonance pairs, draw curved arrows to convert the first structure to the second. Draw in all lone pairs that you move. 5. a) Draw allof the relevant resonance structures for A, and rank them by energy (1 = lowest energy).
