Question
I believe it's c A sample of 1-phenylethanol is found to have a negative optical rotation. Which of the following statements is correct (there may be more than one correct answer). The absolute configuration is S because that configuration always gives a negative rotation The absolute configuration is R because that configuration always gives a negative rotation You can't tell the absolute configuration directly from an optical rotation I googled it and it must be S because it says that (S)-1-phenylethanol has a negative rotation I googled it and still can't tell because you didn't say which solvent and conception you usedExplanation / Answer
answer C
