Answer: False

Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is false.

Explanation:

Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is their misconception. 

The phases depend on its place relative with sun and earth.The phases of moon are new moon,waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbon, full moon, wanning gibbon,last quarter, wanning crescent,new moon.

For example, 

When moon, earth, and sun are exactly in the same line and moon lies in between earth and sun, the sun illuminates the back part of the moon which is not visible from earth. This forms new moon.

So only relative positions matter in the phases of moon.

Draw the resonance structures for the conjugate base of Phenol (C6H6O). In one sentence, explain why phenol (C6H6O) has a pKa of

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached

The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while

the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.
