An aqueous solution containing 10 g of an optically pure compound was diluted to 500 mL with water and was found to have a speci

fic rotation of −129°. If this solution were mixed with 500 mL of a solution containing 7 g of a racemic mixture of the compound, what would the specific rotation of the resulting mixture of the compound? What would be its optical purity?

Answer:

Specific rotation = -258°

Optical purity = 200%

Explanation:

Substances that have a chiral carbon ( a carbon which has four different atoms or compounds bond to it) have optical isomers. The different molecules are called enantiomers, and they differ by the side they deflect polarised light. A mixture contained the same number of the enantiomers is not optical and doesn't deflect polarized light. It's called a racemic mixture.

The specific rotation (spec.rot.) can be calculated by the equation:

spec.rot. = α/lc

Where α is the observed rotation of the plane polarised light in degrees, l is the path length in decimeters, and c is the concentration of the solution in g/100 mL.

The initial concentration is 10g/500mL = 2g/100 mL. The racemic mixture doesn't change the specific rotation, so the final concentration is 10g/1000 mL = 1g/100 mL. Then:

\frac{spec.rot.1}{spec.rot.2} = \frac{\frac{α}{lc1} }{\frac{α}{lc2} }

with α and l the same:

spec.rot.1/spec.rot.2 = c2/c1

spec.rot.2 = c1xspec.rot.1/c2

spec.rot.2 = 2x(-129°)/1

spec.rot.2 = -258°

If for a -129° the optical purity was 100%:

-129° ---------- 100%

-258° --------- x

By a direct simple three rule:

129x = 25800

x = 200%

Scientist have genetically altered a common virus so that it can Destroy the most lethal type of brain tumor without harming the
sergey [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is - discovering or diagnosing the disease.

Explanation:

According to the question, this technology includes genetically modifying a common virus in order to destroy or kill the deadly brain tumor without affecting normal cells around the tumor, this technique is genetic engineering.

This technique can help in treating or curing the disease by killing the tumor cells and make them non-lethal. It can also prevent the tumor cells to grow and make them controlled. There is nothing mention related to diagnosing the disease in the question and it is not possible to find this tumor with help of such a technique.
