Chapter 6, Problem 6.8P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The observed optical rotation of the given sucrose solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereo-genic centers. A chiral molecule is an optically active molecule rotates on by plane polarized light. The observed optical rotation of a compound is given as,

α=[α]cl

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Explanation for the given claim that the value of specific rotation of the enantiomer of sucrose to be synthesized is already known is to be stated.
