Question

The instrument that is used to measure the optical activity of a compound is called a actimeter optimeter polarimeter spectrometer A bottle of 1-penten-3-ol CH2=CHCHOHCH2CH3 indicates that it has a specific rotation of -42.0 degree . You weigh out 4.890 grams of the sample and dissolve it in ethanol to give a total volume of 25.00 mL of solution. You then take some of the solution and place it into a polarimeter cell whose length is 20.00 centimeters. What is the observed rotation of the sample? Show your calculation. What would be the observed rotation of a solution of 4.890 g of the enantiomer of the 1-penten-3-ol (from the above problem) in 25.00 mL of ethanol solution?
