6. Would a 50:50 mixture of (2R,3R)-2,3-dibromobutane and (2R,35)-2,3-dibromobutane be
optically active? Explain.
7. A newly isolated natural product was shown to be optically active. If a solution of 2.0 g
in 10 mL of ethanol in a 50 cm tube gives a rotation of +2.57°, what is the specific
rotation of this natural product?

glyceraldehyde.
9. Is the molecule shown below chiral or achiral? Explain.
