Chapter 5.4, Problem 19PTS
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate the enantiomeric excess (ee) of given molecules.

Concept Introduction:

Enantiomeric excess: The (ee) is a measurement of purity for chiral substances, and its reflected the degree to which a sample contains one enantiomer in greater amounts then the other.

Consider for simple example the (R)-enantiomers (86%) exceeds the percentage of the (S)-enantiomers (14%) has 86%-14%=72%. Further the substance that is single pure enantiomer (100% ee) is called homo chiral or optically active molecule.

To find:  The given molecule enantiomeric excess should be identified.

Imagine an electrochemical cell based on these two half reactions with electrolyte concentrations as given below:   Oxidation: Pb(s) → Pb2+(aq, 0.10 M) + 2 e– Reduction: MnO4–(aq, 1.50 M) + 4 H+(aq, 2.0 M) + 3 e– → MnO2(s) + 2 H2O(l) Calculate Ecell (assuming temperature is standard 25 °C).
: ☐ + Draw the Fischer projection of the most common naturally-occurring form of aspartate, with the acid group at the top and the side chain at the bottom. Important: be sure your structure shows the molecule as it would exist at physiological pH. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. ✓
For a silver-silver chloride electrode, the following potentials are observed: E°cell = 0.222 V and E(saturated KCl) = 0.197 V Use this information to find the [Cl–] (technically it’s the activity of Cl– that’s relevant here, but we’ll just call it “concentration” for simplicity) in saturated KCl.
