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.

Answer:
The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.
Explanation:
Given data:
Energy of photon = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J
Frequency of photon = ?
Solution:
Formula;
E = hf
h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js
5×10⁻¹⁹ J = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×f
f = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js
f = 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹
The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.
For every 1 mole of C6H12O6, you need 6 moles of water. Multiply the 2.5 moles you are trying to make by the 6 of water you need, and 4) 15 is your answer.
Answer:
SOCl2, Mg, CH3CHO, H3O^+
Explanation:
The reaction of the 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol with SOCl2 converts the alcohol to an alkyl halide. This now reacts with Mg metal to yield a Grignard reagent.
The Grignard reagent reacts with CH3CHO and acid to yield 4,4-dimethylpentan-2-ol as shown in the image attached to this answer.
