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 %

nataly862011 [7]
Force is a pull or a push acting on a body at rest or in motion resulting from its interaction with another body. Input force is the force that you put on a machine while Output force is the force the machine exerts on an object. The output distance is when the output force moves the machine a certain distance while the input distance is when the input distance is when the input force moves the machine a certain distance.
