UT Austin Specific Rotation Questions
Question Description
I’m working on a chemistry question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
1. The specific rotation of pure (+)-camphor is +44 degrees. A sample containing this compound and its enantiomer in some combination was found to have a specific rotation of 27 degrees. What is the fraction (in decimal form, 0 < x < 1) of (+)-camphor in the mixture
2. The specific rotation of a pure chiral (+) molecule is 15 What is the specific rotation (in degrees) of a solution that is 81% of the (+) enantiomer? Best to do the calculation to at least 3 significant figures but then please report your answer to 2 significant figures.
