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.

Energy is ability to work or function. Power is the amount of energy transferred to an object.
When energy is transferred to an object or has energy it moves and power is the energy put in a object, meaning they work together to move the object
The answer is A :) hope this help
Answer:
dG will be the same -20 kcal/mol
Explanation:
The dG can be expressed in terms of the G(products) - G(reactants). If the amount of enzyme is doubled the Gibbs energy of the reactants and products will be the same, so the substraction dG has the same value
