b) A student finds two bottles of colourless liquid containing the same molecule (shown below), but one bottle (A) is labelled "racemic" and the other (B) is labelled "enantiopure". i) Describe what is meant by “racemic". In the context of Bottle A, what does that say about the actual contents of the bottle? ii) Conversely, what do you think is meant by "enantiopure" in the context of Bottle B? А ОН В ОН 1-phenylethanol 1-phenylethanol racemic enantiopure
