Concept:

A polarimeter consists of a light source, two polarizing prisms or filters, a liquid cell placed between the two polarizers, an eyepiece and a protractor for measuring the angular rotation of light by the solution.

Specific rotation α:

\(\alpha = \frac{\theta }{{lc}}\)

θ = measured rotation in angular degrees, c = concentration in grams per millilitre of solution, l = cell length in decimetres

Calculation:

20 cm = 2 decimetres

\(\alpha = \frac{\theta }{{lc}} = \frac{{21}}{{2 \times 0.15}} = 70^\circ \)
