uestion 31 Estriol, a potent estrogenic homone, has been isolated from the urine of a pregnant women. When 40 mg of estriol is dissolved in 1.0 mL of dioxane and placed in a sample tube with 1 dm path length a rotation of +2.32 is observed. After calculating the specific rotation for estriol it was found to be. O +232 O+6.0 O 6.0 O+58
