(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rotation of R-lactic acid has to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomer has asymmetric centers, so it shows optical activity.

If Enantiomer that rotates plane polarized light in counterclockwise direction, then it is called levorotatory.

If Enantiomer that rotates plane polarized light in clockwise direction, then it is called dextrorotatory.

Pair of enantiomers has different optical activity, which means if one will show levorotatory then the other will show dextrorotatory.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rotation of R-sodium lactate has to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomer has asymmetric centers, so it shows optical activity.

If Enantiomer that rotates plane polarized light in counterclockwise direction, then it is called levorotatory.

If Enantiomer that rotates plane polarized light in clockwise direction, then it is called dextrorotatory.

Pair of enantiomers has different optical activity, which means if one will show levorotatory then the other will show dextrorotatory.

at 32.0 °C? What is the osmotic pressure (in atm) of a 1.46 M aqueous solution of urea [(NH2), CO] at 3 Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…
