The [α] of pure quinine, an antimalarial drug, is −165. If a solution contains 86% quinine and 14% of its enantiomer (ee = 72%),

Answer : The [α] for the solution is, -118.8

Explanation :

Enantiomeric excess : It is defined as the difference between the percentage major enantiomer and the percentage minor enantiomer.

Mathematically,

\%\text{ Enantiomer excess}=\%\text{ Major enantiomer}-\%\text{ Minor enantiomer}

Given:

% major enantiomer = 86 %

% minor enantiomer = 14 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ Enantiomer excess}=86\%-14\%=72\%

\text{ Enantiomer excess}=\frac{72}{100}=0.72

Now we have to calculate the [α] for the solution.

[\alpha]=\text{Enantiomer excess}\times [\alpha]_{Pure}

[\alpha]=0.72\times -165

[\alpha]=-118.8

Thus, the [α] for the solution is, -118.8

Estimate your de Broglie wavelength when you are running. (For this problem use h = 10^−34 in SI units and 1 lb is equivalent to
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. your running speed 1.5 m/s

B. your mass 70 kg

C. your de Broglie wavelength 6.32x10^{-36}m

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the equation for the calculation of the Broglie wavelength is:

\lambda =\frac{h}{m*v}

We can assume a running speed of about 1.5 m/s and a mass of 70 kg, so the resulting Broglie wavelength is:

\lambda =\frac{6.626x10^{-34}kg\frac{m}{s} }{70kg*1.5\frac{m}{s} }\\\\\lambda =6.32x10^-36m

Answer:

\boxed{It\ will\ shift\ to\ create\ less\ of\ substance\ A}

Explanation:

If the concentration of any substance A in a dynamic equilibrium increases, The equilibrium will be  shifted to its opposite side so that Substance A can be created less and the substance opposite to A can be created more so that a "dynamic equilibrium" can again be established.
