- A well known non steroidal anti inflammation drug NSAID exists in two sterochemical forms. Only one is biologically active. Below is the structure of the biological active form. Identify the chiral center and determine if it is the R- or S- stereoisomer.arrow_forwardPolymers such as polypropylene contain a large number of chirality centers. Would you therefore expect samples of isotactic, syndiotactic, or atactic polypropylene to rotate plane-polarized light? Explain.arrow_forwardLook up the structures of the following carbohydrates: D-Fructose, Sucrose and Maltose. Write down the formula for the calculation of specific rotation given the observed rotation, path length and concentration of a chiral sample.arrow_forward
- Which of these molecules have chiral center?arrow_forwardExplain Biot's law and how it is determined with an example, calculate the specific rotation of a mixture of two enantiomers in unequal parts.arrow_forwardTo the following statement, answer true or false and explain your answer. Q)To be optically active, a molecule must have a chiral center.arrow_forward
