Question
Chapter 5, Problem 49P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The optical purity of the sample needs to be determined. Whether it is safe to use medicinally or not needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The optical rotation is movement of polarized light through the material along with the direction of motion. It is measured by the polarimeter.
