If a sample contains 70.0 % of the R enantiomer and 30.0 % of the S enantiomer, what is the enantiomeric excess of the mixture?

Sagot :

Answer:

the enantiomeric excess of the mixture is 40%

Explanation:

The computation of the enantiomeric excess of the mixture is shown below:

As we know that

[tex]= |\frac{R - S}{R + S} |\times 100\\\\= |\frac{70 - 30}{70 + 30}| \times 100\\\\= 40\%[/tex]

Hence, the enantiomeric excess of the mixture is 40%
