Here is the transcribed text for use on an educational website:---**Question:**Which of the following statements is true for a pair of **ENANTIOMERS**?A) They will have identical physiological properties.B) They will have specific rotations of opposite sign.C) They will have different molar masses.D) They will have different physical properties.---**Explanation of Terms:**- **Enantiomers:** Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other, but cannot be superimposed onto each other. They are a type of stereoisomer commonly found in organic chemistry. - **Specific Rotation:** This term refers to the direction and degree to which a chiral compound rotates plane-polarized light. Enantiomers will rotate light in equal magnitude but opposite directions (one clockwise and the other counterclockwise).**Key Insights:**- While enantiomers have identical molecular weights and most physical properties, they have different interactions with plane-polarized light, making option B the correct statement. They typically cannot be distinguished by their physical properties, except for their optical activity and interaction with other chiral environments, including biological systems.**Correct Answer:** B) They will have specific rotations of opposite sign.
