Specific rotation Specific rotation can be used to examine samples of chiral compounds. The following problems are typical calculations and determinations that organic chemists do. Task 1. Specific rotation of enantiopure (R)-carvone is –60°. An unknown sample of carvone shows specific rotation of +42°. What is the ratio of enantiomers in the sample? What is enantiomeric excess of the mixture? Show how you arrived at the answer. 2. Calculate the observed rotation of a solution of 0.5245g of (S)-1-amino-1-phenylethane diluted to a volume of 10.0 mL with methanol at 20 °C, using the D line of a sodium lamp and a 1.00 dm tube. Specific rotation of this material: [a]p = -30.0° 3. Draw the structure of (S)-1-amino-1-phenylethane

Explain your answer. I have the solutions to the questions. The instructor has given us the answer key. I still don't get the professor's answers. I am confused.
Draw one of the two enantiomers of the major product from this reaction. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate the stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers. Ignore inorganic byproducts. ICI Drawing Q
Using the priority rule, identify the configuration at each chiral center and the configuration of the double bond: For a chiral center please type EXACTLY one of the following: R or S or neither if it is not a chiral center. For a double bond please type EXACTLY one of the following: E or Z or neither if the double bond has no stereochemistry.
