Chapter 15, Problem 15.61P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether lactose is dextrorotatory or levorotatory compound should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Chiral or optically active molecules can rotate plane-polarized light either clockwise or counter clockwise. If plane-polarized light is rotated clockwise then it is known as dextrorotatory and for counter clockwise rotation it is known as levorotatory.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Specific rotation of the enantiomer of lactose should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Enantiomers rotate the plane-polarized light in opposite directions by same angle.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The amount of lactose enantiomer dissolved in water should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Physical properties of enantiomers are similar except the direction of optical activity. Solubility, melting point, boiling points are similar.

The specific rotation, [a]p, for (-)-2-butanol is +14. What is the observed rotation for a solution of 1.0 g of (-)-2-butanol in 10 mL of water in a sample tube having a pathlength of 10 cm? 1.4 degrees . The observed rotation of a solution of 1.1 g of a compound in 10 mL of water is -10 degrees. If the pathlength is 10 cm, what is the specific rotation of the compound?
