A pure sample of the R enantiomer of a compound has a specific rotation, [ α], of +20 °. A solution containing 0.2 g/mL of a mixture of enantiomers rotates plane polarized light by −2 ° in a 1 dm polarimeter. What is the enantiomeric excess (%ee) of the mixture?

10%

Explanation:

Enantiomeric excess is a way of describing how optically pure a mixture is by calculating the purity of the major enantiomer. It can range from 0%-100%. Enantiomeric excess ( ee ) can also be defined as the absolute difference between the mole fractions of two enantiomers.

Enantiomeric excess is also called optical purity. This is because chiral molecules cause the rotation of plane-polarized light and are said to be optically active. An enantiomerically pure sample has an enantiomeric excess of 100 percent

Enantiomeric excess = observed specific rotation/specific rotation of the pure enantiomer x 100

From the data given in the question;

observed specific rotation= -2°

specific rotation of the pure enantiomer = +20°

Therefore;

ee= 2/20 ×100

ee= 10%

the answer is: they rebelled against saddam hussein’s rule.

kurds opposed saddam rule and wanted independence. kurds in the north and shiites in the south revolt against hussein.

for example, the halabja attack in 1988 conducted against the kurdish people by the iraqi regime under saddam hussein, where between 4000 people are killed and around 9000 are injured.
