A mystery compound has only one chiral carbon. The enantiomers of this molecule are placed in separate beakers. Which of the following statements is false?
(R)-2-butanol rotates plane-polarized light at an angle of . A racemic mixture of (R)-2-butanol and (S)-2-butanol is created in a beaker. A burner is placed under the beaker and begins to boil the mixture. The flame evaporates half of the mixture, which then condenses into a separate beaker. The flame is turned off when the amounts are equal in both beakers. Which of the following statements is true?
