Question

A material has an optical purity of 50%. How much of each of the enantiomers is present.

The R enantiomer of a material has rotation of +35. what is the rotation of the S enantiomers.


I only need help with the second question.

Thanks!
If the specific rotation of R is +35 then the rotation of S must be -35.
