Question

Given Sample A, need help with part(c). Thank you :)

Part 2. Analysing the enantiopurity. 2. You are provided with a file that has the GC-analysis of five samples, Samples A-E. Sample A is an analysis of authentic racemic styrene oxide. This is an important reference sample that is used to identify which of the signals correspond to the two enantiomers. a) The four most significant peaks (by integration) occur between 12 and 14 minutes. Which two are likely to correspond to the two enantiomers and why? b) If this was truly pure racemic styrene oxide how many signals would you expect? c) Epoxides readily undergo hydrolysis to give diols. Provide an equation to describe this transformation using styrene epoxide. d) How many new signals would this introduce in the GC and why? e) To accurately determine the area of a peak baseline resolution (a flat section between peaks) is generally required. Considering the signals you have identified has this occurred? How do you think this would impact the confidence you have in your subsequent analysis
