Answer: The enantiomeric excess ee is 50%

Explanation:

Given that;

compound A = 75%, B = 25%

ee = ?

ee = [( A - B) / ( A + B)] × 100

= [( 75 - 25) / ( 75 + 25)] × 100

= [50 / 100] × 100

= 0.5 × 100

= 50%

Therefore enantiomeric excess ee is 50%

A flask contains 5.0g of neon gas at a temperature of 35°C. The pressure gauge indicates 0.37atm inside the flask. What is the v

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The volume of the neon gas is 17.07 L.

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, T, and n. An ideal gas<u> is a hypothetical gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior can be completely accounted for by the ideal gas equation</u>.

In order to calculate the volume, first we need to convert the grams of neon to moles:

28.18 g Ne ------ 1 mol Ne

5.0 g Ne---------- <u>x= 0.25 mol Ne</u>

Now, using the ideal gas equation we calculate the volume:

$pV= nRT$
