Answer:
Phenols do not exhibit the same pka values as other alcohols;
They are generally more acidic.
Using the knowledge that hydrogen acidity is directly related to the stability of the anion formed, explain why phenol is more acidic than cyclohexane.
Explanation:
According to Bromsted=Lowry acid-base theory,
an acid is a substance that can release 
ions when dissolved in water.
So, acid is a proton donor.
If the conjugate base of an acid is more stable then, that acid is a strong acid.
In the case of phenol,
the phenoxide ion formed is stabilized by resonance.
The resonance in phenoxide ion is shown below:
Whereas in the case of cyclohexanol resonance is not possible.
So, cyclohexanol is a weak acid compared to phenol.
Answer:
Threatened Species: A threatened species is a species at risk but not yet endangered. California sea otters were classififed as a threatened species. Laws were passed to protect the otters and now they have increased their population size.
Invasive Species: One of the main causes of extinction and endangered species is the introduction of an exotic species. New exotic species are called invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt food chains, carry disease, prey on native species directly, and out-compete native species for limited resources, like food.
Extinction: If a population decreases too much in numbers, they disappear. Extinct species mean that the species has died out and no individuals left. An example of extinction: New Zealand was once home to a bird called the Giant Moa. Humans settled as their population increased the Moa population decreased. The species is now extinct.

Explanation:
The rate of the backward reaction increases
Explanation:
It is evident that if the reaction is left to proceed spontaneously, the forward reaction is favored because it results in a decrease in pressure in the system (The total reactants have 5 moles and the products have 3 in total).
Increasing H₂O concentration is then reaction, therefore, stymies the forward reaction and favors the reserves reaction. This is because the reverse reaction will lead to reduced pressure.
Answer:
Hydrofluoric acid.
Explanation:
To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:
1. Acetic acid
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5
pKa = 4.74
2. Benzoic acid
Ka = 6.5x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5
pKa = 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid.
Ka = 6.8x10^-4
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4
pKa = 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid
Ka = 3.0x10^-8
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8
pKa = 7.52
Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.
The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:
Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa
1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74
2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52
From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
