The specific rotation for (-)-methylphenidate is -38° mL g¹ dm¹. Path length of the polarimeter is 1 dm. You dissolve 0.5 g of a mixture of (-)-methylphenidate and its enantiomer in 4 mL of water. You place th sample into a polarimeter and the observed rotation is found to be -1.8. What percent of the mixture is composed of (-)-methylphenidate? (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.) The numerical values in this calculation will change with each attempt. Double check before submitting additional attempts

A certain compound has a specific rotation of -43.2o (c = 5, toluene). What is the observed rotation of a sample of 1.24 g of the enantiomer of this compound when diluted to a concentration of 1.00 g ml-1 in the same solvent?
