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>

Which of these charges has the greatest magnitude
Natalka [10]

Answer:

magnitude means absolute value, so the one that is greastest, like |-7| and |4| even id |-7| is a negative number, but it is still the one farthest away from 0, so |-7| is greater than |4|.

That is the way to find the greatest magnitude, but because I don't know your numbers so I can not answer your question, but this is the way to solve for it.

Why is glass brittle
WITCHER [35]
Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress
