Some molecules react differently than others, and this difference in reactivity can be used to separate substances in a mixture.

Typically, this kind of separation is used to separate enantiomers of chiral compounds. Chiral compounds are compounds that have no superimposable mirror images of one another, and the enantiomers are the different versions of these compounds.

When separating enantiomers (which have identical chemical properties), you must first change them into diastereomers by reacting them with a pure enantiomer of another compound. These diastereomers will have different physical properties, making them much easier to sepa

When did you first hear about the pandemic? What were your thoughts?

It was a Friday in April, and I was bored out of my mind in class. I remember hearing about us having a "two week" vacation before the day ended. A couple of my friends and I were kipping the last half-hour of class to do whatever. For the last 5 minutes of class, I was camping out in the lockerbay, and saw another classmate of mine there as well. "See you on Monday" I whispered to her. Heh, not knowing that was going to be the last time I'll ever see her...

but enough about that, basically, I heard about it in school, and just thought it'd be a great two weeks-or-so off.
