Explanation / Answer

cell length = l = 1 dm

concentration = mass / volume

                       = 1.00 / 10

                       = 0.1 g / mL

specific rotation = observed rotation / concentration x cell length

13.5 = observed rotation / 0.1 x 1

observed rotation   = 1.35 o

answer :   option A) +1.35
