Explanation / Answer

a)

concentration = 0.160 x 144 = 23.04 g / L = 0.02304 g/mL

observed rotation = + 0.22 o

specific rotation = observed rotation / l x concnetration

                             = 0.22 / 1 x 0.02034

specific rotation = 9.55 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 = 0.02304 / 2 = 0.01152

observed rotation = 9.55 x 0.01152 x 1

observed rotation = 0.11 deg

d)

specific rotation is uneffected by dilution

specific rotation = 9.55

e)

specific rotation of L = - 9.55

f)

moles= 0.01 - 0.005 = 0.005

concentration = 0.005 / 0.1 = 0.05 M

                       = 0.05 x 144 / 1000

                       = 0.0072

observed rotation = 0.0072 x 9.55 x 1

observed rotation = 0.069
