A 0.140M solution of an eantiomerically pure chiral compound D has an observed rotation of 0.24 in a 1-dm sample container. The molar mass of the compound is 118.0g/mol.

1. What is the specific rotation of D?
2. What us the observed rotation if this solution is mixed with an equal volume of a solution that is 0.140M in L, the eantiomer of D?
3. What is the observed rotation if the solution of D is diluted with an equal volume of solvent?
4. What is the specific rotation of D after the dilution?
5. What is the specific rotation of L, the eantiomer of D, after the dilution?
6. What is the observed rotation of 100mL of a solution that contains 0.01 mole of D and 0.005 mole of L? Assume a 1-dm path length.
