Need help drawing a detailed mechanisms with all 6 resonance structures. And a detailed explanation. I've done the six structures but I'm not sure if its correct. And I'm not sure how to explain the enhanced acidity of phenol. Please help. b. Draw all possible resonance structures for the phenoxide ion derived fromp- nitrophenol(e.g., first treat p-nitrophenol with OH-) and explain why p- nitrophenol is much moreacidic than phenol. to explain the enhanced acidity of the phenol. (There is also a 6 one,can you find it?)

The resonating structure of p-nitro phenoxide ion is shown below
