If a mixture contains 75% of one compound and 25% of its enantiomer what is the e.e

1 answer:

4 0

<span>The enantiomeric excess (ee) of a mixture is an indicator of the compound's purity. A 50/50 (racemic) mixture has an ee of 0% while a single enantiomer has an ee of 100%. Therefore, take the major enantiomer compound in the mixture, 75%, and subtract its minor enantiomer contributor, 25%, to get an ee of 50%.</span>

A flask contains methane, chlorine and carbon monoxide gases. the partial pressures of each are 0.215 atm, 0.066 atm, and 0.826

hjlf

Answer;

The total pressure is 1.107 atm.

Explanation;

The total pressure is the sum of the pressures of the three gases in the flask

Pressure (total) = 0.215 atm + 0.066 atm + 0.826 atm = 1.107 atm

= 1.107 atm.

Assuming equal concentrations of conjugate base and acid, which one of the following mixtures is suitable for making a buffer so

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

NH₃/NH₄Cl

Explanation:

We can calculate the pH of a buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

$pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

If the concentration of the acid is equal to that of the base, the pH will be equal to the pKa of the buffer. The optimum range of work of pH is pKa ± 1.

Let's consider the following buffers and their pKa.
