Why does cyclohexanol have a pK, of 18 and phenol, despite its similarities in structure, have a pK, of 10? Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which increases the stability of the base and favors its formation Cycohexanol has a resonance-stabilized structure, which increases its stability and reduces the likelihood that it will react to form a conjugate base Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which decreases the stability of the base and inhibits its formation Cycohexanol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which increases the stability of the base and favors its formation Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which decreases the stability of the base and favors its formation

Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
