L- isomer is considered as the Enantiomer of d- isomer and since the d-isomer optical rotation is + 13.5° so the optical rotation of l-isomer will be the same degree but with opposite sign which equal to -13.5° 

So the degree of rotation of racemic mixture will equal 0° 


- This is because racemic mixture contains equal amount of both enantiomers

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

  • <u>The arrow labeled 4: from gas to liquid.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Dew</em> is a manifestation of water condensation.

The air that surrounds us contains water vapor (humidity) from the evaporatoin of the water in the rivers, lakes, and the water with which you water the plants of your garden.

During the night, and specially in the early morning, before dawn, the temperature of the air descends, and part of the vapor in the air condensates in tiny droplets that accumulate over the surface of the plant's leaves, and other solid surfaces like the winshields and hoods of the cars.

Then, the phase transition that occurs is from gas (vapor) to liquid, which is called condensation and represented with the arrow labeled 4 on the diagram.

The specific rotation of (R) carvone is (+) 61°. The optical rotation of a sample of a mixture of R &amp;S carvone is measured a
shusha [124]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

% optical purity = specific rotation of mixture/specific rotation of pure enantiomer  * 100/1

specific rotation of mixture = 23°

specific rotation of pure enantiomer = 61°

Hence;

% optical purity = 23/61 * 100 = 38 %

More abundant enantiomer = 100% - 38 % = 62%

Hence the pure  (S) carvone is (-) 62° is the more abundant enantiomer.

Enantiomeric excess = 62 - 50/50 * 100 = 24%

Hence

(R) - carvone  =  38 %

(S) - carvone = 62%
