Only a pure resolving agent may be used. If a racemic mixture is used then the product will result in 4 different spatial arrangements 2 of which will be enatiomers. The whole purpose of the experiment is to convert enantiomers (which have similar physical properties) into diasteromers (which have different physical properties). Taking advantage of the differences the two diasteromers will then be separated by an appropriate technique thus leaving one with only one enatiomer.

What is a recemate?

In chemistry, a racemic mixture is one that has equal amounts of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule. The first known racemic mixture, or racemate, was 'racemic acid', which Pasteur found to be a mixture of the two enantiomeric isomers of tartaric acid. A racemate is optically inactive: because the two isomers rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions they cancel out, therefore a racemic mixture does not rotate plane-polarized light. In contrast to the two separate enantiomers, which generally have identical physical properties, a racemate often has different properties compared to either one of the pure enantiomers. Different melting points and solubilities are very common, but different boiling points are also possible.


What does the accuracy of the fragment sizes tell you about the resolving ability of agarose-gel electrophoresis?

The larger fragements will not be very accurate because they cannot resolve in high consentrations of the agarose in the gel. The percent of agarose in the gel affects the ability to resolve larger fragements of DNA


Do fruits have acid?

Yes, some fruits are extremely acidic. Eating an excess of fruit can rot your tooth enamel, which cannot grow back. But don't worry, it was just to give an example, it would take a huge amount of acid from an apple to do that kind of damage.

Primary cells cannot be recharged.


What is a substance which cannot be compressed and cannot flow?

A solid is a substance that cannot be compressed because its particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. Solid substances also cannot flow, as their particles do not have the ability to move past each other easily.

What does tartaric do in wine making?

Tartaric acid plays important role in the wine chemistry, by lowering the pH of fermenting must, grape juice or wine to a level where many spoilage bacteria cannot live, and acting as a preservative in combination with SO2. When you taste a wine, the tartaric acid provides some of the tartness and also in some cases will provide freshness in the wine, although citric and malic acid also play a role.
