8.7 Two products are formed in the following reaction in a 50:50 mixture. Would the resulting solution be optically active
1 answer:
Answer:
Yes. The solution would be optically active.
Explanation:
Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.
In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.
So the answer is Yes.

Most liquids expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.
A thermometer consists of a bulb of liquid connected to a thin capillary tube.
When the liquid is heated, it expands and moves up the capillary column. When the liquid cools, it contracts and moves back down the column.
You can determine the temperature by reading the position of the liquid against a graduated temperature scale.
