If the enantiomeric excess of a mixture is 75%, what are the % compositions of the major and minor enantiomer?

Chemistry

Maru [420]3 years ago
7 0

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>

What’s the difference between a learned behavior in an inherited behavior? Give one example of each
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

A learned behavior is a behavior that develops during an animal's lifetime. Tying one's shoes or solving a math problem are examples of learned behaviors. An inherited behavior is a behavior that an animal is born with. It does not have to be taught. For example, a bird can build a nest for the first time without any help.

Which half reaction can occur at the anode in a voltaic cell
luda_lava [24]

Oxidation is the half reaction that can occur at the anode in a voltaic cell.

Explanation:

In electrodes which is metal strip in voltaic cell the reactions occurs. The two electrodes placed one in each half-cell. The reduction reaction occurs at cathode and oxidation occurs at anode.

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction. Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions.

In an oxidation half reaction, an atom loses electron(s). When an element is oxidized it loses a specific number of electrons.
