Ex: A0.66 gram sample of L-(-)-menthof was dissolved in 13.3 mL of ethanol. The sample was then placed in a 2-dm polarimeter cell. The observed rotation (a) of the sample was -2.38°. Calculate the %-optical purity. Report your answer as a WHOLE #. DO NOT include the % symbol in your answer. [amax) = -51.0°
