### Optically Inactive Compounds and Enantiomeric Mixtures**Question 1:** Which two compounds, when mixed in equimolar amounts, would make a solution that is **NOT** optically active?- **Structures:** 1. **I:** A compound with the structure showing COOH on top, CH₃ at the bottom, and Cl and OH on the sides. 2. **II:** A compound with the structure showing COOH on top, CH₃ at the bottom, and OH and Cl on the sides (opposite of I). 3. **III:** A compound with the structure showing COOH on top, CH₃ at the bottom, and the same side configuration as I. 4. **IV:** A compound with the structure showing COOH on top, CH₃ at the bottom, and the same side configuration as II.- **Options:** a. I and II b. I and III c. I and IV d. III and IV **Answer:** The two compounds that, when mixed in equimolar amounts, would result in a solution that is NOT optically active are **a. I and II**.**Explanation:** Compounds I and II are mirror images of each other, thus forming a racemic mixture when combined in equal amounts, which is optically inactive.---**Question 2:** The specific rotation of pure (R)-carvone is -61°. An enantiomeric mixture of (R) and (S) carvone has an observed rotation of +10°. Which enantiomer is in excess?- **Options:** a. (R)-carvone b. (S)-carvone c. Neither, they have equal amounts d. Cannot be determined **Answer:** The enantiomer in excess is **b. (S)-carvone**.**Explanation:** The observed positive rotation indicates that (S)-carvone, which typically has a positive specific rotation (opposite to (R)-carvone), is in excess in the mixture.
