The optical rtation of an optically active compound is

A

Directly proportional to length of the polarimeter tube only

B

Directly proportional to the molar concentration of the compound

C

Independent of the length of the polarimeter tube and concentration of the compoun

D

Directly proportional to both the length of the polarimeter tube and molar concentration of the compound

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Specific rotation is an intensive property, so it is independent of the length of the polarimeter tube and concentration of the compound
