A solution is prepared by mixing 5 mL of a 0.20 M solution of the S enantiomer of a compound and 10 mL of a 0.20 M solution of the R enantiomer. The specific rotation of that solution was -7.00. a.) Calculate the millimoles of each enantiomer in the mixture. b.) Calculate the% enantiomer in excess (% e.e). c.) Calculate the specific rotation of each pure enantiomer.
