The specific rotation of (R)-2-butanol is 13.5° counterclockwise. A sample containing (R)-2-butanol was made by dissolving 1.75 g into a solution with a total volume of 3.55 mL. The light source was a sodium D line and the temperature was 25° C. The length of the sample tube was 12.5 cm. What was the observed rotation of the sample? "Use three significant figures for your answer and the correct sign.
