Calculate the enantiomeric ratio of the mixture. Express the answer as a whole number ratio in the form of , where is the major enantiomer.
Added by Marissa G.
Step 1
Let's assume we have the following amounts of the two enantiomers: - Major enantiomer (R): 70% - Minor enantiomer (S): 30% Now, we can follow the steps to calculate the enantiomeric ratio. Show more…

If a mixture contains 75% of one compound and 25% of its enantiomer what is the e.e

Given that the procedure converted 80% of the starting material, ethyl acetoacetate, to give a product mixture of (R)-ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate and (S)-ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate. Using a 1 dm long polarimeter cell, the optical rotation of the reaction mixture, which includes unreacted ethyl acetoacetate, is +10.5°. The concentration is 0.5 g/mL (total material, not just product). Find the TOTAL percent of the enantiomer that is in excess. I have calculated the optical rotation is 21°, but the answer is not 26.3%.
