Question

A chiral sample gives a rotation that is close to 180180^{\circ}. How can one tell whether this rotation is +180+180^{\circ} or 180?-180^{\circ} ?

Solution

Verified

Value of the rotation depends on concentration. So we should dilute the solution and we will get the lower angle of rotation with the right sign.
