Question

The specific rotation, [?]D, for sucrose is +67. What is the observed rotation for a solution of 0.40 g of sucrose in 10 mL of water in a sample tube having a pathlength of 10 cm? degrees . The observed rotation of a solution of 1.2 g of a compound in 10 mL of water is -5.3 degrees. If the pathlength is 10 cm, what is the specific rotation of the compound?

Step 1

We have 0.40 g of sucrose in 10 mL of water, so the concentration is: $$ \frac{0.40 \text{ g}}{10 \text{ mL}} = 0.04 \text{ g/mL} $$ Show more…
