The specific rotation of the pure (S) form of effluvium is -25.0°. Efflivium is an expensive component of a popular natural health product called Snake Oil. To save money, the ACME drug company make Snake Oil by mixing inexpensive racemic effluvium with some enantiomerically pure effluvium. The resulting drug gives a specific rotation of+16° a) What is the enantiomeric excess of the sample? b) Which isomer is in excess and why? c) What is the composition of the mixture (how much R form and how much S form)? d) What was the original ratio used of racemic effluvium to enantiomerically pure effluvium?
