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:
(CH3)2CHCH2CHO
Explanation:
The reaction sequence begins with the reaction of isopropanol with phosphorus tribromide to yield isopropyl bromide. This is followed by reaction with Magnesium in ether solution giving a grignard reagent, isopropyl magnesium bromide. This is now attacked by oxirane and the epoxide ring opens, hydrolysis of the product, followed by oxidation using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) yields the final product- (CH3)2CHCH2CHO

Answer:
Explanation:
so if the reaction is C2H4+3O2-->2H2O+2CO2
if there were 7 moles of C2H4:
