4)
Specific rotation = observed rotation / (density of the solution in g/mL x length of the polarimeter cell in dm)
Now,
Mass of the sample (m) = 4.50 g
Volume of the solution (V) = 10.0 mL
Density of the solution = m/V = 4.50 g/10.0 mL = 0.45 g/mL
Length of the cell = 100 cm = 10 dm ( 1 cm = 0.1 dm)
Thus, specific rotation = +22.2o/(0.45 x 10) = +4.93o
Hence, the specific rotation of the sample = +4.93o
5)
% enantiomeric excess = (specific rotation of sample x 100)/specific rotation of pure enantiomer
= (+ 4.93o x 100)/15.5o
= 31.8 %
This implies that the solution contains 31.8 % of S isomer in excess.
6)
% racemic mixture = 100 % - % enantiomeric excess
= 100 % - 31.8 %
= 68.2 %
Now, a racemic mixture contains R and S isomer in 1 : 1 ratio.
Hence, % of R in racemic mixture = % of S in racemic mixture = 68.2 %/2 = 34.1 %
Hence, the total % of S isomer in the sample = (31.8 + 34.1) % = 65.9 %
The total % of R isomer in the sample = 34.1 %

11. Enantiopurity - How pure a substance is in one enantiomer over the other is expressed as a % enantiomeric excess. Consider the following theoretical scenario: CH2OH CH2OH optical rotation: +100° optical rotation: -100° % composition % enantiomeric excess observed rotation In the lab, a polarimeter can give you optical purity (% enantiomeric excess) by comparing against a pure enantiomeric standard: Optical purity = specific rotation of sample - X 100 specific rotation of pure enantiomer Page 2 A mixture...
7) A solution of an enantiomerically pure sample of (R)- 3-chloropentanoic acid is made by dissolving 2.5 g of the compound in 100 mL of water. a. Calculate the specific rotation of (R)- 3-chloropentanoic acid if the observed rotation of the above sample is +2.78° when measured in a 40 cm tube. g/mL +2.7% = 127.5 10025(4) b. What is the specific rotation of (S)-3-chloropentanoic acid? -27,8 c. A chemist prepares a sample which is a mixture of both enantiomers...
ootical for pure substance is +40 1. As the new chemist working at "Drugs Us", you are given the task of resolving racemic phenylethyl- amine into its individual enantiomers using (S)-malic acid as resolving agent. After you carried out the resolution, you labeled the products you isolated "Sample A" and "Sample B. You subjected both samples to polarimetry ( = 589 nm (sodium D-line), 1-dm cell) and obtained the following results. Sample A: 1.00 g dissolved in 10.0 mL methanol...
please show all steps and do both. if you dont do both problems please do problem 2 is more important . Problem 2. (45 Points) Cooling water available at 680F is flowing through 1 in diameter tube at a rate of 62000 lb/hr to cool 7000 lb/hr of a lube oil from 200 to 1000F. The specific heat of the lube is 0.62 Btu/lbm oF and viscosity is 5 cp, thermal conductivity is 0.067 Btu/ft-hr °F. The overall heat transfer...
Can you please help me with this question. Much appreciated. So I have a sample code, but we need to change the code in a way that fits the problem. A planar slab of material is initially at a temperature of 300 K. At the time t=0, microwave radiation is directed at the material, leading to internal heat generation that is uniform within the material. The sides of the slab experience negligible heat losses and a water bath maintains the...
