    A 20 cm length of a certain solution causes right-handed rotation of 38°. A 30cm length of another solution causes left-handed rotation of 24°. The optical rotation caused by 30cm length of a mixture of the above solutions in the volume ratio 1 : 2 is                                                             [KCET 2001]

    A)            Left handed rotation of 14°

    B)            Right handed rotation of 14°

    C)            Left handed rotation of 3°

    D)            Right handed rotation of 3°

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               As q µ l Volume ratio 1 : 2 in a tube of length 30 cm  means 10 cm length of first solution and 20 cm length of second solution . Rotation produced by 10 cm length of first solution \[{{\theta }_{1}}=\frac{38{}^\circ }{20}\times 10=19{}^\circ \] Rotation produced by 20cm length of second solution \[{{\theta }_{2}}=-\frac{24{}^\circ }{30}\times 20=-16{}^\circ \] \ Total rotation produced = 19° ? 16° = 3°
