Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate the specific rotation of a given molecule.

Concept Introduction:

The specific rotation (α) is a property of a chiral chemical compound. It is defined as the change in orientation of monochromatic plane-polarize light, per unit distance concentration product, as the light passes through a sample of a concentration in solution.

The specific rotation of a molecule can be calculated by using the formula given below.

[α]Tλ=αobs(degree)l(dm).C(gmL)

alpha (α) represents the observed rotation measured with a polarimeter. l represents the length of the sample tube.     C is the concentration of a solution of a pure sample.λ is the wave length of the light.
