What observed rotation is expected when a 1.44 M solution of (R)-2-butanol is mixed with an equal volume of a 0.720 M solution of racemic 2-butanol, and the resulting solution is analyzed in a sample container that is 1 dm long? The specific rotation of (R)-2-butanol is –13.9 degrees mL g–1 dm–1.
Is it not -1.85?
