Consider the ions of potassium (K) and sulfur (S), Write chemical formulas for all possible ionic compounds involving these ions
2 answers:
The compounds between the ions and
are
An ionic compound is a compound that is composed of ions. Let us note that ionic compounds are always such that the sum of the charges on the ions is zero.
You need two potassium atoms to form an ionic bond with one sulfur atom. Potassium ions are formed by donating and losing their electrons in the outermost shell, the lost electrons are gained by sulphur atom to form and
, respectively.
The attraction between the positive ions and negative ions gives rise to the ionic bond and the molecular formula is

The mathematical expression for mass percent is given by:
Put the values,
mass of zinc =
= or 65.4 g
Now, number of moles of zinc =
=
= 1.00 mole
Number of atoms of zinc is calculated by the Avogadro number.
Now, according to mole concept
molecules of enzyme consists of
atoms of zinc
So, 1 molecule of enzyme contains =
= 1 atom of zinc.
Hence, every carbonic anhydrase molecule consists of 1 atom of zinc.
