Specific Rotation Test

Aaronswift107 Dec, 2022Health

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 of a compound is a characteristic property of the compound as long as the temperature, the wavelength of the light, and the solvent are specified.
