The specific rotation of vitamin C ( using the D line of sodium, at 20°C) is +24. Predict what the observed rotation would be for a solution containing 0.100 g of vitamin C dissolved in 10.0 ml of ethanol and placed in a sample cell with a length of 1dm.
A solution of 0.50 g of (-)@epinephrine dissolved in 10.0 mL of diluteaqueous HCl was placed in a 20-cm polarimeter tube. Using the sodium D line, the rotation was found to be -5.1° at 25 °C. Determine the specific rotation of epinephrine.
Calculate the specific rotation of a solution of a compound (30.0 g/100 mL of solution) that has a measured rotation of +25.25º in a 2.00 dm tube.
