Optical Activity and Enantiomeric Excess
A defining characteristic of chiral substances is their ability to rotate the plane of polarized light, a phenomenon termed optical activity. If a solution of a pure enantiomer is placed in a polarimeter, it will rotate the light either clockwise ($+$ or $d$) or counter-clockwise ($-$ or $l$).
The magnitude of this rotation is quantified by the Specific Rotation, $[\alpha]_\lambda^T$, measured under standa… -

Measurement and Instrumentation
The standard instrument for measuring optical rotation is the polarimeter. Modern instruments utilize high-precision light sources and digital detection systems to minimize the inherent uncertainty caused by thermal drift in the measurement cell.

Polarimetry Equipment and Calibration
The instrument used to measure optical rotation is a polarimeter. Modern digital polarimeters often use monochromatic light sources, typically sodium vapor lamps, or tuneable lasers.
Calibration of the polarimeter is traditionally achieved using solutions of high-purity Dextrose$(\text{D-(+)-Glucose})$ or Quinine Sulfate, whose [specific… -
