Q. Reaction of R-2-bromobutane with aqueous KOH follows two parallel reactions, one by

S_{N} 2

(complete inversion) and other by

S_{N} 1

(complete racemization). Specific optical activity for R-2-butanol is

- {13.50}^{\circ} / g m L

per dm length of the polarimeter.

If in a 10 cm tube polarimeter, 10 ml of R-2-bromobutane along with KOH is filled, then after complete reaction of R-2-bromobutane, the mass of all alcohols formed is found equal to 5 g of which 1 g is of R-2-butanol. Then, the total optical rotation (in degree) of the solution is
