Answer:The volume increases by 11%
Explanation:
When the pressure is decreased, the volume must definitely increase, to maintain the same pressure, the temperature must then also be increased as we see in the question. The volume was increased just as the pressure decreased and the temperature had to be increased to maintain a constant pressure. We have applied the general gas equation in solving the problem.
Let us say that R is the major enantiomer, while
S is the minor enantiomer, therefore the formula for enantiomeric excess (ee)
is:
ee = (R – S) * 100%
Let us further say that the fraction of R is x (R
= x), and therefore fraction of S is 1 – x (S = 1 – x), therefore:
75 = (x – (1 – x)) * 100
75 = 100 x – 100 + 100 x
200 x = 175
x = 0.875
Summary of answers:
R = major enantiomer = 0.875 or 87.5%
<span>S = minor enantiomer = (1 – 0.875) = 0.125 or
12.5%</span>
