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.

I am pretty sure this is right. Hope that helps
A vice, you can tighten it and then work on what is held in it without having to hold it still or in the position you want.
Answer:
C. 1 proton 3 neutrons
Explanation:
A nucleus is more stable if the ratio of the neutrons to protons is between 1:1 and 1:1.5.
Thus the ratios of neutrons to protons for the nuclei are as follows
A- 1:1
B- 1:1
C- 1:3
D- 1:2
Among these ratios, C is the greatest thus the nucleus is the least stable.
