(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.

1. This experiment is more about understanding the colligative properties of a solution rather than the determination of the molar mass of a solid. a. Define colligative properties. b. Which of the following solutes has the greatest effect on the colligative properties for a given mass of pure water? Explain. (i) 0.01 mol of CaCl2 (ii) 0.01 mol of KNO3 (iii) 0.01 mol of CO(NH2)2 (an electrolyte) (an electrolyte) (a nonelectrolyte)
5. b. For Trials 2 and 3, the molar mass of the solute was 151 g/mol and 143 g/mol respectively. a. What is the average molar mass of the solute ? b. What are the standard deviation and the relative standard deviation (%RSD) for the molar mass of the solute ?
