A 1.52 M solution of (R)-2-butanol is mixed with an equal volume of a 0.760 M solution of racemic 2-butanol, and the resulting
solution is analyzed in a sample container that is 1 dm long. What observed rotation is expected? The specific rotation of
(R)-2-butanol is -13.9 degrees mL g-¹ dm¯¹.
α =
deg
The specific rotation for (-)-methylphenidate is -38° mL g¹ dm¯1. Path length of the polarimeter is 1 dm.
1
You dissolve 0.5 g of a mixture of (-)-methylphenidate and its enantiomer in 4 mL of water. You place the sample into a
polarimeter and the observed rotation is found to be -0.2°. 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.

How can we decide whether an observed rotation of a solution
of an optically active compound is +170° and not actually
-190°?
