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>

pashok25 [27]
The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.

In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,

Answer:

1. Which people are in the control group? The people who received the mint without the secret ingredient

(Group B) would be the control group.

2. What is the independent variable? Secret ingredient in the breath mint

3. What is the dependent variable? Amount of breath odor (or bad breath)

4. What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be? The breath mint with the secret ingredient appears to reduce the

amount of breath odor more than half the time, but it is not 100% effective.

5. Why do you think 10 people in group B reported fresher breath? This may be due to the placebo effect.

Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29

Explanation:

First write the balance eqation of chemical reaction:

2S(s) +3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

Remember writing any chemical reaction from its  elemetal form then write the elements in their natural form i.e. how that element exists in the nature here sulphur exists in solid monoatomic form in the nature and oxygen in gaseous diatomic form.

mass of oxygen given=5gram

mole of oxygen=5/32mol=0.16mol

mass of sulpher given=6gram

mole of sulpher=6/32mol=0.19mol

from the above balanced equaion;

2 mole of sulphur reacts with 3 mole Oxygen completely

1 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5 mole Oxygen completely

0.19 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5\times 0.19 i.e. 0.285 mole Oxygen completely.

but we have 0.16 mole so oxygen will be the limiting reagent and sulpher will be the excess reagent

so product will depend on the limiting reagent

from the balance equation

3 mole of sulpher gives 2 mole SO_3

1 mole of sulpher will give 2/3 mole SO_3

0.16 of sulpher will give 0.12 mole SO_3

mass of SO_3=9.6gram this is theoreical production of SO_3

and

actual production of SO_3 =7.9gram

\%\, yield   \,\, SO_3=\frac{Actual \,yield}{theoretical\, yield}\times 100

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=\frac{7.9}{9.6} \times 100=82.29

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29
