The optical rotation of a sample composed of only D-fructose is determined. [α]obs = -0.37°. [α]D is known to be -92.4° for D-fructose. If the cell path length was 0.6 dm and the concentration of D-fructose in the sample was 0.15 g/mL, what is the enantiomeric excess (ee)?


I have the same problem but different numbers with the solution but still cant figure out how to set this problem up ????
