Answer :  The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%


                The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%


                The % of enantiomeric excess = 58%


Explanation :   Enantiomeric excess (ee) is the measurement of purity used for chiral substances.


Given,


% of pure limonene enantiomer = The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%


Therefore, The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%


Formula used :  

\%(+)\text{ isomer}=\frac{ee}{2}+50\%


Where,         ee → enantiomeric excess


Now, put all the values in above formula, we get the value of enantiomeric excess (ee).


     {ee}=\frac{\%(+)-50\%}{2}


            =\frac{79\%-50\%}{2}


              = 58%

Answer:

The major enatiomer makes up 89.5% of the mixture

The minor enatiomer makes up 10.5% of the mixture

The percent enantiometric excess is 79%

Explanation:

% (+) = ee/2

79 % / 2 + 50%

= 39.5% + 50%

= 89.5%

and

% (-) = 100 % - 89.5 %

= 10.5%

Yes, because a mixture is 2 or more substances that are mixed together (not chemically). A mixture could be two different elements physically combined in a set ratio.

Distinguish between a solution in general and an aqueous solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

  • What distinguish a solution in general from an aqueous solution is the solvent. A solution in general may contain any solvent, which may be solid, liquid or gas, while an aqueous solution is formed with water as solvent.

Explanation:

A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture in which a substance, named solute, is dissolved, in other substance, name solvent.

Solutions may be in solid, liquid or gas state. There are many kind of solvents. Usually, in a lab you work with liquid solutions. Some liquid solvents are: ethanol, glycerin, hexane, benzene, and water, among many others.

Aqueous solution is a solution where the solvent is water. Of course, the solute may be any one: NaCl, sugar, ethanol, an acid, a base, a salt.

What distinguish a solution in general and an aqueous solution is the solvent.

Select the correct answer.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

A.   it is the lowest at low temperatures

Explanation:

It is true with respect to the kinetic energy of a molecule that the it is the lowest at low temperatures.

The kinetic energy of a molecule is the energy due to the motion of the particles within a substance.

  • Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of a substance.
  • The higher the temperature, the more the kinetic energy of the molecules within a system.
  • At low temperature, kinetic energy is the lowest.
  • At the highest temperature, kinetic energy is the highest
