Phenol, c6h5oh, is a stronger acid than methanol, ch3oh, even though both contain an o]h bond. Draw the structures of the anions

resulting from loss of h1 from phenol and methanol, and use resonance structures to explain the difference in acidity.

In resonance structures, the chemical connectivity in the molecule is same but the distribution of electrons are different around the structure.  They are created by moving electrons in double or triple bonds, and not atoms.

Phenol, C_6H_5OH and methanol, CH_3OH both are alcohols  that contain an -OH group attached to carbon atom.

Due to loss of 1 H from phenol, it forms phenoxide anion and due to presence of double bond in the benzene ring the negative charge on the oxygen atom (which represents electrons) will resonate with double bonds of benzene ring as shown in the image. The resonance-stabilized phenoxide ion is more stable. Whereas when methanol lose 1 H it forms methoxide anion and there are no such electrons present in the structure of methoxide that will result in the movement of electron. Since, due to resonance-stabilized phenoxide ion is more stable than methoxide ion, so it is a stronger acid.

The structures of the anions resulting from loss of 1 H from phenol and methanol is shown in the image.

How lead and iodine compound formed
ale4655 [162]
These are dissolved in water to form colourless solutions, and then mixed together. This mixing leads to a double displacement reaction, essentially resulting in the metals 'swapping' their places in the two compounds, producing lead (II) iodide, and potassium nitrate.

Give two uses of compound under each of the following, in medicine and in industry​
NemiM [27]

Explanation:

#Medicine

Compounds used as medicines are most often organic compounds, which are often divided into the broad classes of small organic molecules (e.g., atorvastatin, fluticasone, clopidogrel) and "biologics" (infliximab, erythropoietin, insulin glargine),

#Industry

Polymers and plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene and polycarbonate

The best tool to use to locate the boundaries between countries is a(n) _____.
8_murik_8 [283]

The correct answer is (b) political map

The explanation:

when a political map: is different than other types of maps because it focuses on government or administrative boundaries rather than geographical or physical features. Instead of showing viewers what exists in the land, it shows those imaginary lines that serve to separate countries, states, territories, and cities. These maps generally include larger bodies of water, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, as landmarks.

It was made by man not natural like the others maps.

so this is the correct answer.
