I think the answer is ‘repulsion’
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.

#SPJ4
<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2

Solve for x
x = +4</span>
Answer:
More than 40 percent measured above 5 ppb of lead, which the researchers considered an indication of a “very serious” problem.
Colloid
Explanation:
A lotion of this type is a typical colloid mixture.
- A colloid is a homogeneous mixtures of two phases.
- The dispersed phase and the dispersion medium.
- Water is the dispersion medium and oil is the dispersed phase.
They have the following properties:
- Liquid dispersed phase and liquid dispersion medium forms an emulsion and a lotion of this type is an example.
- The particles are larger than those found in solutions.
- The particles pass through ordinary filter paper.
- They may be cloudy or clear .
