This latter ray is said tobe polarized. Many organic substances (sugar, proteins, etc.) have thepower of twisting or rotating this plane of polarized light, the extent towhich the plane is rotated depending upon the number of moleculeswhich the polarized light passes. Substances which possess this powerare said to be optically active. The specific rotation of a substance isthe rotation expressed in degrees which is afforded by i gram of sub-.

Stance dissolved in i of water in a tube one decimeter in specific rotation, (Q:)n, may be calculated by means of the followingformula: Wz,= in which J) = sodium = observed rotation in — grams of substance dissolved in i of = length of the tube in decimeters. If the specific rotation has been determined and it is desired to ascer-tain the per cent of the substance in solution, this may be obtained bythe use of the following formula, P = {a)D I The value of p multiplied by loo will be the percentage of the sub-stance in solution.
