The mixture contains 62 % one isomer and 38 % the enantiomer.

Let’s say that the mixture contains 62 % of the (<em>R</em>)-isomer.

Then % (<em>S</em>) = 100 % -62 % = 38 %

ee = %  (<em>R</em>) - % (<em>S</em>) = 62 % -38 % = 24 %

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage of R-enantiomer is 62 %, the percentage of S-enantiomer is 38 % and the percent enantiomer excess is 24 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

A chiral molecule limonene which is 62 % enantiopure.

This molecule has two enantiomers, which are R-limonene and S-limonene.

Let us consider that 62% of the given molecule is R-limonene.

So, the remaining S-limonene will be = (100 - 62) = 38 %

Percent enantiomeric excess 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}

% major enantiomer = 62 %

% minor enantiomer = 38 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ Enantiomer excess}=62\%-38\%=24\%

Hence, the percentage of R-enantiomer is 62 %, the percentage of S-enantiomer is 38 % and the percent enantiomer excess is 24 %

Answer:

Number of moles = 10.6 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar mass of H = 1.008 g/mol

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Mass of citric acid = 2.03 kg (2.03×1000 = 2030 g)

Number of moles of citric acid = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Now we will calculate the molar mass of citric acid:

C₆H₈O₇ = (12.01× 6) + (1.008×8) + (16.00×7)

C₆H₈O₇ = 72.06 + 8.064+112

C₆H₈O₇ = 192.124g/mol

Number of moles = 2030 g/ 192.124g/mol

Number of moles = 10.6 mol

forsale [732]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
