    Specific rotation of sugar solution is O.5 deg kg. 200 kgm-3 of impure sugar solution is taken in a sample polarimeter tube of length 20 cm and optical rotation is found to be 19°. The percentage of purity of sugar is

    A) 20%                                       

    B) 80%

    C) 95%                                       

    D) 89%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The strength of solution is given by x\[c=\frac{\theta }{l\times s}\].  where the symbols have their usual meanings. Here, \[\theta =19{}^\circ ,\text{ }l=20\text{ }cm=0.20m,\] \[s=0.5\,\deg \,{{m}^{2}}/kg.\] \[\therefore \]  \[c=\frac{19}{0.20\times 0.5}=190kg-{{m}^{-3}}\] The sugar sample dissolved in a\[{{m}^{3}}\]of water is 200 kg in which 190 kg is pure sugar. Therefore, purity is \[=\frac{190}{200}\times 100\] \[=95%\]
