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

1 answer:

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>

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(iii) A has pH greater than 7 and B has pH less than 7

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is a common indicator in acid base titrations. It turns pink in basic conditions and turns colorless in acidic conditions. Thus on addition of solution A it becomes pink so A should be basic having pH more than 7. On addition of B , it turn out to be colorless means that B is an acidic solution having pH less than 7.

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g

ra1l [238]

Answer:

1) When 6.97 grams of sodium(s) react with excess water(l), 56.0 kJ of energy are evolved.

2) When 10.4 grams of carbon monoxide(g) react with excess water(l), 1.04 kJ of energy are absorbed.

Explanation:

1) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g).

2 Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⇒ 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) ΔH = -369 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is negative, which means that 369 kJ of energy are evolved per 2 moles of sodium. The energy evolved for 6.97 g of Na (molar mass 22.98 g/mol) is:

$6.97g.\frac{1mol}{22.98g} .\frac{-369kJ}{2mol} =-56.0kJ$

2) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of carbon monoxide(g) with water(l) to form carbon dioxide(g) and hydrogen(g).

CO(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂(g) ΔH = 2.80 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive, which means that 2.80 kJ of energy are absorbed per mole of carbon monoxide. The energy evolved for 10.4 g of CO (molar mass 28.01 g/mol) is:

$10.4g.\frac{1mol}{28.01g} .\frac{2.80kJ}{mol} =1.04kJ$
