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.

Just try completing it and it should be straightforward according to the professor and TAs.
The grading is not on correctness, so if you can just get to the correct answers without perfectionism that would be great. They care about the steps and reasoning and that you did something. I asked for an extension, but was denied the extension.
Show your work and do something that is reasonable. It does not have to be 100% correct. Just show something that looks good or pretty good as acceptable answers. Something that looks reasonable or correct would be sufficient. If you can get many of them correct that would be great!
