The concentration of an organic compound in chloroform is \(6.15 \mathrm{~g}\) per \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) of solution. A portion of this solution in a \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) polarimeter tube causes an observed rotation of \(-1.2^{\circ}\). What is the specific rotation of the compound?

  1. A \(+12^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(-3.9^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(-39^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(+61.5^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-39^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} {[\alpha] } & =\frac{[\alpha]_{\text {observed }}}{l \times C} \\ & =\frac{-1.2}{5 \times \frac{6.15}{1000}}=-39^{\circ}\end{aligned}\)
