This is not true. The sulfide ion is a stronger base than the nitrate ion.

This is because nitrogen and oxygen are very electronegative, This creates a stable anion with very little affinity for hydrogen ions.

Sulfur is much less electronegative and so the sulfide ion is less stable. So it has a much higher affinity of a hydrogen ion.

How much stronger is a Richter 7.0 than Richter 4.0?

It's approximately 31,623 times stronger. However, if you base the strength solely on the Richter scale, it's ten times stronger per number increase. Therefore, a 7.0 is 1,000 times stronger than a 4.0 E.G. A 5.0 is 10x stronger than a 4.0 A 6.0 is 10x stronger than 5.0 and 100x stronger than a 4.0 A 7.0 is 10x stronger than a 6.0, 100x stronger than a 5.0, and 1,000 times stronger than a 4.0
