1.The specific rotation, [α]D, for (-)-malic
acid is -27. What is the observed
rotation for a solution of 0.50 g of
(-)-malic acid in 10 mL of water in a sample tube
having a pathlength of 10 cm?
B) The observed rotation of a
solution of 1.3
g of a compound in 10 mL of water is
+11 degrees. If the pathlength is 10 cm, what is the
specific rotation of the compound?
