Enantiomeric Excess
5. Chirality / Enantiomeric Excess / Problem 4
A solution was prepared by dissolving 1.8 g of (−)-glyceraldehyde in 9.00 mL of water. The solution was placed in a 100-mm cell and the rotation was then measured at 25℃ using the sodium D line. If the rotation observed was −1.74º, calculate the specific rotation of (−)-glyceraldehyde.
