Explanation / Answer
There are multiple questions here. . i am allowed to answer only 1 at a time. I will answer all part of question 1st question for you
1.
a)
formula tobe used:
specific rotation= rotation / (l*rho)
l is length in dm
rho is density in g/mL
here rho = density = mass/volume = 1.7g/10 mL = 0.17 g/mL
l = 1 dm
specific rotation= rotation / (l*rho)
8.5 = rotation / (1*0.17)
rotation= 1.445 degree
Answer: 1.445 degree
b)
here
rho = density = mass/volume = 1.2g/10 mL = 0.12 g/mL
l = 1 dm
specific rotation= rotation / (l*rho)
= -5.3 / (1*0.12)
= -44.17
Answer: -44.17 degree
