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:
SCl₂
Explanation:
In order to know the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass
S: 26.95/32.07 = 0.8403
Cl: 59.61/35.45 = 1.682
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one.
S: 0.8403/0.8403 = 1
Cl: 1.682/0.8403 ≈ 2
The empirical formula of the compound is SCl₂.
Answer:
C: The temperature of the substance increases as it sits in the beaker of water
Explanation:
This question was taken from a video where an attempt was made to investigate the changes in temperature when a substance undergoes change from it's solid phase to its liquid phase.
To do this, as seen in the video online, it shows a solid substance in a test tube being placed in a beaker of water.
From observation, the water in the beaker has a warmer temperature than the solid substance present in the test tube and this in turn makes the test tube gradually increase in temperature.
Thus, the solid substance will as well increase increase in temperature when it is placed in the beaker of water.
heterogeneous, because it does not have a uniform texture

Answer: Out of the given options acetic acid is in household vinegar.
Explanation:
Household vinegar is the one that is commonly used in our home while cooking a number of dishes.
The common name of vinegar is acetic acid and its chemical formula is 
.
For example, vinegar (acetic acid) is used while making noodles.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options acetic acid is in household vinegar.
