Question:

The specific rotation of l-alanine in water (at 25°C) is +2.8. A chemist prepared a mixture of l-alanine and its enantiomer, and 3.50 g of the mixture was dissolved in 10.0 mL of water. This solution was then placed in a sample cell with a path length of 10.0 cm and the observed rotation was +0.78. Calculate the % ee of the mixture.
