Which acid/base salts differ in their physical properties and can, in principle, be separated?
I. enantiomeric salts (racemic acid and achiral base)
II. meso-salts (meso-acid and achiral base)
III. diastereomeric salts (racemic acid and chiral base)
IV. diastereomeric salts (chiral acid and racemic base)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diastereomeric salts can be separated based on their physical properties, as they have different crystal structures and solubilities. Enantiomeric salts and meso-salts, on the other hand, have identical physical properties and cannot be separated easily.
