Chapter 3.7, Problem 3.9P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The observed rotation for the given prepared solution has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Specific rotation:

Specific rotation is given by,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Specific}\text{rotation}\text{=}{\left[\text{α}\right]}_{\text{λ}}^{\text{T}}\text{=}\frac{\text{Observed}\text{rotation}\left(\text{degrees}\right)}{\text{Length}\left(\text{dm}\right)\text{×}\text{Concentration}}\\ \text{where,}\\ \text{T}\text{-}\text{temperaure}\\ \text{λ}\text{-}\text{wavelength}\text{of}\text{light}\end{array}$
