Q9
Account for the change in the observed optical rotation of your carvone samples with
an increase in concentration of carvone.
☐ At lower concentrations, an increase in the number of ethanol molecules in the
sample interferes with the optical rotation reading.
☐ The observed optical rotation of the carvone samples is independent of
concentration.
☐ An increase in the number of chiral molecules results in a cumulative effect on the
optical rotation.
