The molar mass of the co D has an observed rotation of +0.26° in is 179.0 g/mol. b) What is the observed rotation if this solution s mixed with an equal volume of a solution that is 0.140 M in L, the enantiomer of D? (a) What is the specific rotation of D? Number deg mL. g dm Number deg (c) What is the observed rotation if the solution of D is diluted with an equal volume of solvent? (d) What is the specific rotation of D after the dilution described in part (c)? Number Number deg mi g dm deg e) What is the specific rotation of L, the enantiomer of , after the dilution described in part (c)? () What is the observed rotation of 100 mL of a mole of L? (Assume a 1-dm path length.) Number deg ml g dm deg

Explanation / Answer

a)

concentration = 0.140 x 179 = 25.06 g / L = 0.02506 g/mL

observed rotation = + 0.26o

specific rotation = observed rotation / l x concnetration

                             = 0.26 / 1 x 0.02506

specific rotation = 10.4 deg .mL / g.dm

b)

equial volume and equal concnetrations of solutions mixed , racemic mixure formed.

observed rotation = 0 deg

c)

volume doubled , then concentration is halved.

c = 0.02506 / 2 = 0.01253

observed rotation = 10.4 x 0.01253 x 1

observed rotation = 0.130 deg

d)

specific rotation is uneffected by dilution

specific rotation = 10.4

e)

specific rotation of L = - 10.4

f)

moles= 0.01 - 0.005 = 0.005

concentration = 0.005 / 0.1 = 0.05 M

                       = 0.05 x 179 / 1000

                       = 0.00895

observed rotation = 0.00895 x 10.4 x 1

observed rotation = 0.093
