Written by tutor Nathan R. Dealing with organic compounds in chemistry can feel overwhelming. A small difference in the molecule changes the name and can drastically change the reactivity of the compound. This holds true for the two compound groups,AlkanesandAlkenes. They are both hydrocarbons and...
Re: Good Organic Chemistry Books «Reply #75 on:April 09, 2008, 06:11:18 PM » I've recently picked upThe Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual, by James W. Zubrick. Lots of quick and dirty explanations for techniques for complete beginners, wish I had this back in the day. Logged Hey...
The molar composition of thel-andd-forms must add up to 100%: So using some basic algebra, we can use these two equations to calculate the ratio of enantiomers. For instance, in equation #2, we can isolate the % ofd-as being (50% + %l-). We can then plug that value into equati...
