An optically active drug has one chiral ...

An optically active drug has one chiral centre and only dextro rotatory isomer is effective. Moreover, it becomes ineffective when its optical activity is reduced to `35%` of original. It was found that mutarotation of this drug was first order reaction with a rate constant of `1 xx 10^(-8) s^(-1)`. Find the expiration time of the drug in years.

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have an optically active drug with one chiral center, and only the dextro-rotatory isomer is effective. The drug becomes ineffective when its optical activity is reduced to 35% of its original value. The mutarotation of this drug follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of \( k = 1 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{s}^{-1} \). ### Step 2: Determine the percentage of optical activity lost The drug becomes ineffective when its optical activity is reduced to 35%. Therefore, the percentage of optical activity lost is: \[ ...
