    Specific rotation of sugar solution is 0.01 SI units. 200 kgm-3 of impure sugar solution is taken in a polarimeter tube of length 0.25 m and an optical rotation of 0.4 rad is observed. The percentage of purity of sugar in the sample is:

    A)  11%

    B)  20%

    C)  80%

    D)  89%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Specific rotation of sugar solution is angle of rotation \[\text{ }\!\!\alpha\!\!\text{ }\,\text{=}\,\frac{\text{angle}\,\text{of}\,\text{rotation}}{\text{length of tube }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ concentration}}\] \[\,\text{=}\,\frac{\theta }{\text{l }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ C}}\] \[\therefore \]\[C\,\text{=}\,\frac{\theta }{\text{l}\,\alpha }\] \[\,\text{=}\,\frac{0.4}{0.25\times 0.01}\] \[=160kg/{{m}^{3}}\] Thus, purity of sugar solution \[=\frac{160}{200}\times 100=80%\]
