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 %

What is the total number of moles represented by 20 grams of CACO3
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B. 0.2.

Explanation:

  • We can use the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of CaCO₃ = 20 g, molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol.

<em>∴ n = mass/molar mass = </em>(20 g)/(100.0869 g/mol) <em>= 0.1998 ≅ 0.2 mol.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: B. 0.2.</em>

romanna [79]

The extent of sewage treatment required mostly depends on the control of suspended solids and BOD of the sewage. Hence, option C is correct.

<h3>What is Inorganic matter?</h3>

Inorganic matter is substances of mineral origin that are not characterized by primarily carbon-based structures.

Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable for discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges.

The main goal of wastewater treatment facilities is to protect humans and the ecosystem from harmful and toxic elements found in wastewater.

Hence, option C is correct.
