Answer:
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, given the chemical reaction, we can compute the grams of oxygen by using the 98.2 g of water via the 2:1 mole ratio between them, the molar mass of water that is 18.02 g/mol, the molar mass of gaseous oxygen that is 32.00 g/mol and the following stoichiometric procedure relating the given information:
In which the result is displayed with three significant figures because the given mass of water 98.2 g, has three significant figures too.
Best regards!
Answer:
<u>Optical purity = 76.9231 %</u>
<u>Specific rotation of mixture = - 97.6923 °</u>
Explanation:
The mass of the racemic mixture = 3 g
It means it contains R enantiomer = 1.5 g
S enantiomer = 1.5 g
Amount of Pure R = 10 g
Total R = 11.5 g
Total volume = 500 mL + 500 mL = 1000 mL = 1 L
[R] = 11.5 g/L
[S] = 1.5 g/L
Enantiomeric excess = =
= 76.9231 %
<u>Optical purity = 76.9231 %</u>
Also,
Optical purity =
Optical rotation of pure enantiomer = −127 °
<u>Specific rotation of mixture = - 97.6923 °</u>
