(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The specific rotation for the given sample solution on the basis of given information.

Interpretation: The specific rotation for the given sample solution is to be calculated on the basis of given information.

Concept introduction: Physical properties of a compound like boiling point, density affects the angular rotation of polarized light by a chiral compound. The concentration of the compound affects the rotation of polarized light in Polarimeter. The rotation is also dependent upon the length of the cell and optical activity of the compound.
