Chapter 4.4, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage of each enantiomer of limonene and percent enantiomeric excess is to be determined in the sample, which is 95% enantiopure.

Concept introduction:

The percent enantiomeric excess is the difference between the percent of the major enantiomer and the minor enantiomer.

%Enantiomeric excess=(% Major enantiomer)-(% Minor enantiomer)

When a sample contains a chiral compound and one enantiomer is present in excess than the other, the sample is optically active.

When all the molecules have the same handedness, it is called enantiopure.
