From TBR Orgo Ch.2 phase 1 question 8:
How can a compound with an optical rotation of +233.0 be discerned from a compound with an optical rotation of -127.0?
A. The intensity of light is greater with the positive optical rotation
B. The sample with +233.0 optical rotation when diluted to half of its original concentration would show an optical rotation of +116.5
C. The larger the absolute value of the optical rotation, the greater the density of the compound
D. It is not possible to...
Discriminating optical rotations?
