Question
Chapter 7.4, Problem 3E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The laboratory method used to identify the two enantiomers of the carvone needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
The capability of a solution to rotate plane-polarized light is known as optical activity, and solutions which have this capability are known to be optically active solutions.
Enantiomers are isomers which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
