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.

Choose the correct statement. The cathode is the electrode where the oxidation takes place. Both oxidation and reduction may tak
gregori [183]

Answer:

The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.

Explanation:

Cell has three components:

an electrolyte and two electrodes which is a cathode and an anode.

Electrolyte is usually solution of the water or other solvents in which the ions are dissolved.

<u>In electrolytic cell:</u>

Negatively charged electrode is the cathode where the process of reduction takes place.

Positively charged electrode is the anode where the process of oxidation takes place.

<u>In galvanic cell:</u>

Positively charged electrode is the cathode where the process of reduction takes place.

Negatively charged electrode is the anode where the process of oxidation takes place.

<u>So, the correct answer is - The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.</u>
