Chapter 4.8, Problem 24P

(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.

Quantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kT
