Re: Resonance
When a compound has resonance structures, its negative charge/electrons are delocalized. This makes it more stable, so if that compound has a bond with H, it is more likely to lose H+ since the resulting anion will be stabilized by delocalization. In other words, the more stable the anion is, the more likely it is that the H bond will break, which makes for a stronger acid.
