Answer:
The specific rotation of D is 11.60° mL/g dm
Explanation:
Given that:
The path length (l) = 1 dm
Observed rotation (∝) = + 0.27°
Molarity = 0.175 M
Molar mass = 133.0 g/mol
Concentration in (g/mL) = 0.175 mol/L × 133.0 g/mol
Concentration in (g/mL) = 23.275 g/L
Since 1 L = 1000 mL
Concentration in (g/mL) = 0.023275 g/mL
The specific rotation [∝] = ∝/(1×c)
= 0.27°/( 1 dm × 0.023275 g/mL
)
= 11.60° mL/g dm
Thus, the specific rotation of D is 11.60° mL/g dm
