Hi,
I have two questions the first one is:
Give a mixture of enantiomers with observed rotation of -38 degrees and specific rotation of 50, what percentage (+) enantiomers does the mixture have?
My answer: 88,
I got this answer by this equation:
(38/50+1)/2
My other question is:
What is the optical rotation value of pure (+) enantiomers if a 1:3 mixture of (+) enantiomers rotates light -25?
My answer: 75
Are any of these answers correct? If not please explain to me what I may have did wrong.
Thank you
