The optical rtation of an optically active compound is

Options

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

Answer

C

Explanation

Specific rotation is an intensive property, so it is independent of the length of the polarimeter tube and concentration of the compound
