Based on the optical rotation or specific rotation, how can you tell if the (R)-enantiomer is in excess as opposed to the (S)-enantiomer being in excess?
1 chiral molecules rotate the plane of polarized light ,
2 optical rotation and specific rotation are the measure of degree of rotation
3 if plane of polarized light rotated dextro that is clock wise the optical rotation and specific rotation values are written as + alpha degree , and - alpha for levo rotatory for anticlock.
4 there is no certain connection between R ,S with dextro or levo rotation of plane of polarized light , we can't say if any chiral compound rotats plane of polarized light clock wise then , it will be R or S can't be predicted,
5 but yes , enantiomeric excesss and optical purity only define about the domination of R and S configuration.

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...
2) Natural epinephrine (with a specific rotation of -50°) is used medicinally. Its enantiomer is medically worthless and is, in fact, toxic. You, a pharmacist, are given a solution said to contain epinephrine, but the optical purity is not mentioned. You place it in a polarimeter and get an observed optical rotation of -150. What is the enantiomeric excess of natural epinephrine? How much of each enantiomer is in the mixture? You must show your work to get credit.
the R-(+) enantiomer of a certain compound has a specific rotation of +52. A mixture of this compound with its enantiomer has a has an observed rotation of -26. what is the %ee of this sample and which enantiomer is in excess? what is the ration of R:S in this mixture?
2. The optical activity, measured by specific rotation, of pure (R-malic acid is [a]20D-+27% What is the specific rotation of a mixture of 50% and 50% of (R)-malic acid and (S)-malic acid? What is enantiomeric excess of a sample of malic acid containing both enantiomers that has a [al20D -0% [a]20D-27"; [a]20D-_ 13.5": [a]20D-+ 13.5°

A student measured the specific rotation of a mixture and found it to be 10.00 degrees. If the specific rotation for the pure R enantiomer is 40.00 degrees, then what is the enantiomeric excess of the solution? What is the actual composition of R and S enantiomers?
repared a limonene sample with a concentration of 0.044 g/mL and measured an optical rotation of a=8.78 degrees using a 20 cm polarimeter tube. Calculate the specific rotation () of the students limonene sample and write your answer in the box. (review Example 1 in the procedure for how to do this) 6. If a mixture of (R) and (S)-Limonene Acid gives a %ee of 80.35% favoring the R enantiomer, use this to calculate the ratio of R to S...
