Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 5.8TIY
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The optical rotation of a sample of (+)-2-bromobutane which is 75% optically pure needs to be determined. The percentages of (+) and (-) enantiomers present in the sample needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:The movement of the plane of linearly polarized light along the direction of motion when the light passes through the material is termed as optical rotation.
