Specific Rotation Using Solution

Specific rotation is a property of a chiral chemical compound. It is defined as the change in orientation of monochromatic plane-polarized light, per unit distance–concentration product, as the light passes through a sample of a compound in solution

Specific rotation equals the optical rotation angle divided by the concentration of the liquid and path length of the light.

Formula

QuantityVariable["[α]", "SpecificRotation"] == QuantityVariable["α", "Angle"]/(QuantityVariable["c", "MassVolumeFraction"]*QuantityVariable["l", "PathLength"])

symbol description physical quantity
[α] specific rotation "SpecificRotation"
c concentration "MassVolumeFraction"
l path length "PathLength"
