(a)
Interpretation:
For the given set of molecules the optically active or optically inactive should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Enantiomers are chiral molecules that are mirror images of one another. The molecules are non-superimposable on one another.
Optically active: These are capable of rotating the plane of polarized light to the right or left either dextrorotatory or levorotatory used of compounds, molecules, or atoms.
Optically inactive: A racemic mixture is an optically inactive; there is no net rotation of plane-polarized light. Although the two enantiomers rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions, the rotations cancel because they are present in equal amounts.
(b)
Interpretation:
For the given set of molecules the optically active or optically inactive should be identified.

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
