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:
255.6
Explanation:
If you have 12 gallons and get 21.3mpg,
-Multiply 21.3 by 12
-you can travel 255.6 miles before running out of gas.
-If you need to estimate, round up to 256 miles.
Answer:
May I assume "ethanol acid is just ethanol (it has one slightly acidic H atom). If so, the molar mass is 46.02 g/mole.
Explanation:
We have 30 cm^3 [30 ml] of 1.0 M (1 mole/liter) [1 dm³ = 1 liter].
That is 1 mole/liter. 30 ml would contain (0.030 liter)*(1 mole/1 liter) = 0.03 moles.
