The specific rotation of a pure enantiomers is `+12^(@)`. What will be its observed rotation if it is isolated form a reaction with `20%` racemization and `80%` retention.A. `+9.6^(@)`B. `-9.6^(@)`C. `+2.4^(@)`D. `-2.4^(@)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`%`optical purity `= (alpha_(obs))/([alpha]_(D)) xx 100%`
Thus,
`alpha_(obs) = (80)/(100) (+12^(@))`
`= +9.6^(@)`
