A dextrorotatory isomer has a specific rotation of +51.3 ° at30°C . A sample containing both isomers has specific rotation value +30.8° at 20°C.
What is the percentage of the two enantiomers in the sample?

We'll need to see some attempts from you. What's the formula for enantiomeric excess, specific rotation of a mixture?

Intuitively, this should need the concentrations in both samples. If not, the second sample could be just more dilute.

Nope, they are specific rotations = per unit concentration.

Thanks!
