(-)-Cholesterol has a specific rotation of -32o. A mixture of ( )- and (-)-cholesterol was analyzed by polarimetry, and the observed rotation was 14o. What is the percent composition of the ( ) isomer in this mixture

(+)-cholesterol = 71.88%

(-)-cholesterol = 28.12%

Explanation:

Asuming 1 gram of sample is dissolved in 1mL of water and the sample cell was 1dm long.

Enantiomeric excess is defined as the amount of pure enantiomer in a sample. The formula is:

ee = [α]mixture / [α]pure enantiomer.

Replacing:

ee = 14° / 32°×100 = 43.75%

As the sample is 14°, There is an excess of (+)-cholesterol and 56.25% is a 1:1 mixture of enantiomers.

That means percent composition of enantiomers is:

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

answer: any goods being imported from another country may be subject to issued by the federal government are tariffs

explanation:  

tariffs are a tax on anything that are imported from abroad. government use them to protect and boost their local industries and the thought is that they encourage consumers to buy local instead of importing and they will hope will protect jobs and economy in the country that implements them
