Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The specific rotation of (+)-glyceraldehyde is to be calculated on the basis of given information.

Concept introduction: Physical properties of a compound like boiling point, density affects the angular rotation of polarized light by a chiral compound. The concentration of the compound affects the rotation of polarized light in Polarimeter. The rotation is also dependent upon the length of the cell and optical activity of the compound.

To determine: The specific rotation of (+)-glyceraldehyde on the basis of given information.
