If the conjugate base of a molecule has a pkb of 1.4, what would you expect the molecule to be?

If the conjugate base of a molecule has a pKb of 1.4, the molecule should be a Weak Acid.

Notice this question gives us the pKb of the molecule, not the pKa. Because of this, the pH scale basically gets reversed, so lower numbers in pKb correlate with stronger bases, and higher numbers in pKb correlate with stronger acids - the exact opposite of the pH scale.

It's important to make sure you completely understand the terms of conjugate base, conjugate acid, pKb, pKa, and how they all relate. It's easy to mix up the meanings of these definitions.

Here are the two other pieces of information you need to know to correctly answer this question:

  • Strong acids have a weak conjugate base.
  • Strong bases have a weak conjugate acid.

So if the problem says you have a strong conjugate base, then the molecule must be a weak acid. To illustrate this, think of ammonium, NH4+. Ammonium is a weak acid, but the conjugate base of ammonium is ammonia, NH3, which is a reasonably good base.

.7 liters of CO represents how many molecules?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

               1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

Explanation:

At STP for an ideal gas,

Volume = Mole × 22.4 L/mol

Or,

Mole = Volume / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.7 L / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.03125 moles

Now,

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 0.03125 × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

Enter a balanced equation for the reaction between solid nickel(II)(II) oxide and carbon monoxide gas that produces solid nickel
velikii [3]

Answer: A balanced equation for the given reaction is NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g).

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)

Number of atoms on the reactant side is as follows.

  • O = 2
  • C = 1

Number of atoms on the product side is as follows.

  • Ni = 1
  • O = 2
  • C = 1

Since number of atoms on both the reactant and product sides are equal. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that a balanced equation for the given reaction is NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g).

Solutions can only be separated by using distillation not filtration. Why can't a solution be filtered? Explain using the terms
garri49 [273]
<h2>Solutions</h2>

Explanation:

  • Solutions are formed when a solute gets dissolved in a solvent. The solid that gets dissolved is called solute whereas the liquid in which the solid gets dissolved is called the solvent. On dissolving,  the particles of the solute  gets incorporated between the inter-particle space of the solvent. This means that there is no significant difference between the particle size of solute and solvent. However the boiling points of solutions can differ significantly. This is the reason, the solutions cannot be separated by the method of filtration but by the method of distillation.
