Explanation / Answer

answer 18) optical activity is the ability to rotate plane polalized light

(-)-mandelic acid has optical rotation -158o

(+)-mandelic acid has optical activity +158o

so mixture of 40% (-) and 60% (+) will have optical rotation of +32o

optical rotation = [0.40*(-158o) + 0.60*(+158o) = +32o

answer 19)answer is c because
A molecule is achiral if it is superimposable on its mirror image. Most achiral molecules do have a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry. Achiral molecules that contain a stereocenter are called meso.

answer 20) answer is E because

Enantiomers possess identical chemical structures but are mirror images of one another  Therefore, their electron clouds are also identical but actually mirror images of one another and not superimposable. For this reason, enantiomeric pairs rotate light by the same magnitude (number of degrees), but they each rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions

answer 21) answer is D cyclohexane

in cycloalkane system only cyclohexane is the one which has minimum ring strain almost 0.4Kcal/mol
