Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The structure of the enantiomers of the MSG needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: When four different groups are attached to single atom that atom is called chiral atom. Enantiomers have the same molecular formula but the special arrangements of the atom are differ.
(b)
Interpretation: The optical purity and percentage of the R and S enantiomers needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The optical purity of the solution is the ratio of the observed specific rotation to the specific rotation of pure solution.
(c)
Interpretation: The optical purity and percentage of the enantiomers of the solution needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Optical purity is the ratio of observed rotation to the specific rotation of pure solution.

- Draw the products of this reduction of a ketone with sodium borohydride. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate the stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers, where applicableIgnore any inorganic byproducts. 1) NaBH4 2) HCI/H2O Select to Drawarrow_forwardWhy do you think people who live at high altitudes are advised to add salt to water when boiling food like pasta? What mole fraction of NaCl is needed to raise the boiling point of H2O by 3˚C? Does the amount of salt added to water (typically about one teaspoon to four quarts of water) substantially change the boiling point? (Kb (H2O) = 0.51˚C/molal.)arrow_forwardpls help asaparrow_forward
