Using an empty polarimeter, rotate the eyepiece until any light passing through the lower Polaroid is cut off. Rotating first from the right and then from the left, take the average of two or more readings. (This reading corresponds to zero path length.)
How do you find the concentration of a polarimeter?
For the example, if a sample prepared from 1.5 g of optical material dissolved in water to a final volume of 10 mL and measured in a 5.0 cm cell was determined to have an optical rotation of +3.5 degrees, then the concentration would be 1.5 g / 10 mL = 0.15 g/mL, and [a] = 3.5 / (0.15 * 5.0) = 4.7.
What do you measure using polarimeter?
A polarimeter is an instrument which measures the angle of rotation by passing polarized light through an optically active (chiral) substance. To measure optical rotation, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) produces a beam of ordinary light.
