You Sir, sound like a genius! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Very helpful post, thank you.

May I know what is the name of the R and S isomers?

[@rickpires5156]

R,R,R-1-phenylethylammonium tartrate and S,R,R -1-phenylethylammonium tartrate

[@hajermazin]

Thank a lot
Great job 👏🏻

[@adammaitland6078]

Any idea why the SRR is less soluble?

[@rickpires5156]

Good question. I'm not sure.

[@NicoleCorby]

Do you have a video that shows how to do the calculations ?

[@rickpires5156]

optical purity =[ (observed rotation)/(reference value)] x100 (reference value is the value you look up for the compound, observed value is what you measured in lab)
percent major isomer = 50 + (optical purity)/2
