Question

The specific rotation of a pure enantiomer is + 10 ° . The observed rotation, if it is isolated from a reaction with 30% racemisation and 70% inversion is, + 10 °, - 10 °, 3 °, - 7 °

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Specific rotation of inverted isomer = - 10 ° Angle of rotation = ( S pecific rotation of inverted isomer ) × ( Fraction of inversion ) = - 10 × 70 100 = - 7 °
