Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.

In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.

An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, LiCl is an ionic compound.

In order to break down, ionic bonds require high heat energy.

Whereas a covalent bond is defined as the bond formed due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

Covalent bonds are weak in nature and hence, they can be broken down with less amount of heat energy.

A covalent bond is generally formed between two or more non-metals.

For example, $CCl_{4}$ is a covalent compound.

If 155 grams of potassium (K) reacts with 122 grams of potassium nitrate (KNO3), what is the limiting reagent?

GenaCL600 [577]

K:

m=155g
M=39g/mol

n = 155g / 39g/mol ≈ 3,97mol

KNO₃:

m=122g
M=101g/mol

n = 122g/101g/mol = 1,21mol

2K + 10KNO₃ ⇒ 6K₂O + N₂
2mol : 10mol
3,97mol : 1,21mol
limiting reagent

KNO₃ is limiting reagent

What is the molar mass of MnP

igomit [66]

The production of manganese peroxidase (MnP) by Irpex lacteus, purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by acetone precipitation, HiPrep Q and HiPrep Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, was shown to correlate with the decolorization of textile industry wastewater. The MnP was purified 11.0-fold, with an overall yield of 24.3%. The molecular mass of the native enzyme, as determined by gel filtration chromatography, was about 53 kDa. The enzyme was shown to have a molecular mass of 53.2 and 38.3 kDa on SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, respectively, and an isoelectric point of about 3.7. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 and between 30 and 40 degrees C. The enzyme efficiently catalyzed the decolorization of various artificial dyes and oxidized Mn (II) to Mn (III) in the presence of H(2)O(2). The absorption spectrum of the enzyme exhibited maxima at 407, 500, and 640 nm. The amino acid sequence of the three tryptic peptides was analyzed by ESI Q-TOF MS/MS spectrometry, and showed low similarity to those of the extracellular peroxidases of other white-rot basidiomycetes.
