Pregunta 10
Pregunta
What does it mean if something is Chiral?
Respuesta
-
The property of having a 'left' and 'right' form of a molecule/compound. They cannot be superimposed on each other as they are not 'identical'
-

Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Enantiomers are chiral molecules that are mirror images of one another. Furthermore, the molecules are non-superimposable on one another. This means that the molecules cannot be placed on top of one another and give the same molecule. Chiral molecules with one or more stereocenters can be enantiomers.
Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
What does the L and D in amino acids stand for?
Respuesta
-
The L in front of an amino acid is a shortened scientific notation for “levorotatory', the D means 'dextrorotatory'. The terms dextrorotatory and levorotatory refer to an optical property that can be observed and measured in a laboratory, by shining a beam of polarized light through a medium containing the substance.
-

Why is the selection of optimal analytical wavelength important for spectrophotometric measurement?
Respuesta
-
Because different compounds absorb light at different wavelengths, a spectrophotometer can be used to distinguish compounds by analyzing the pattern of wavelengths absorbed by a given sample.
