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 −127°. If this solution were mixed with 500 mL of a solution containing 3 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:

<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 = \frac {Excess}{Total\ Concentration}\times 100 = \frac {11.5-1.5}{11.5+1.5}\times 100 = 76.9231 %

<u>Optical purity = 76.9231 %</u>

Also,

Optical purity = \frac {optical\ rotation\ of\ mixture}{optical\ rotation\ of\ pure\ enantiomer}\times 100

Optical rotation of pure enantiomer = −127 °

76.9231=\frac {optical\ rotation\ of\ mixture}{-127^0}\times 100

<u>Specific rotation of mixture = - 97.6923 °</u>

The change in enthalpy is the change in heat energy of a reaction and is calculated by (Hint: Hess' Law): Group of answer choice
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

d. Sum of product enthalpies minus the sum of reactant enthalpies

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy change of a reaction (ΔH°rxn) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔH°rxn = ∑n(products) × ΔH°f(products) - ∑n(reactants) × ΔH°f(reactants)

where,

ni are the moles of products and reactants

ΔH°f(i) are the standard enthalpies of formation of products and reactants
