Chemistry

A sample solution of [(+/-)-Co(en)3]I3(with no impurities) is found to have [α]D =+77o, whereas a pure enantiomer would give a value of[α]D = +89o. Calculate the exact percentageof (+) and (-) isomers present in the sample solution. (note: youmust first reason whether the rotation value indicates the totalamount of + isomer or the enantiomeric excess).
