Question

How will the value of specific rotation differ in optically active and inactive compound?

Open in App

Solution

Specific rotation of an optically inactive compound is zero while specific rotation of an optically active compound is expressed as:-

[ $α$ ]_$λ$^T= $\frac{α}{l \times c}$

Where l is the wavelength of light used for observation
t is the temperature in degree Celsius
α is the observed rotation in degrees
c is the concentration in degrees
