Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The EE of a mixture of (+) and ()-2-methyl-1, 2-butanediol is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A chiral molecule is an optically active molecule. It rotates the plane of a plane polarized light. The specific optical rotation of a compound is given by the expression as shown below.

[α]=αcl
