(a)
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.

- A student has a green dye mixture on which she performs a TLC experiment with a silica gel plate and acetone as the solvent. She obtains a yellow spot with an Rf of 0.75 and a teal spot with an Rf of 0.45. Explain the significance of her data.arrow_forwardPlease answer 1D. how would the Rf values change if eluted with hexanes using an alumina TLC plate? I think that an alumina plate is more polar than a silica plate, so I am inclined to say that this would increase the Rf values. But, I also know that hexanes are non-polar, so I am not sure if they would move up a very polar surface or not. Thanks!arrow_forwardSuppose you measure 3.000 g of a substance and dissolve it in 200.0 mL of water, and place the sample in a 1.000 dm path-length sample tube, and then observe a rotation of 28.5 degrees with the sodium-D lamp.
