How can one account for the fact that the carbon-oxygen single bond of acetic acid is shorter than the carbon-oxygen bond of ethanol? A) The carbon in the alcohol is sp2 hybridized and has a higher percent s-character that lengthens the C-O bond in the alcohol. B) The carbon in the carboxylic acid is sp3 hybridized and has a lower percent s-character that shortens the C-O bond in the carboxylic acid. C) The carbon in the carboxylic acid is sp hybridized and has a higher percent s-character that shortens the C-O bond in the carboxylic acid. D) The carbon in the carboxylic acid is sp2 hybridized and has a higher percent s-character that shortens the C-O bond in the carboxylic acid. E) The carbonyl oxygen withdraws electron cloud density which tends to pull the C-O single bond of a carboxylic acid closer to it.

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
