A molecule that has displays chirality has the ability to rotate plane polarized light in
either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. According to the direction of the rotation
of the light, a molecule can then be classified as being either levorotatory or
dextrorotatory. This is the concept behind the use of a polarimeter to investigate the
kinetics of the reaction. When sucrose is hydrolyzed it forms two optically active
enantiomers, which are glucose and fructose respectively. The conversion of sucrose to
[Type text]
glucose and sucrose is referred to as inversion as the optical rotation of the solution
inverts from positive to negative. This is due to the fact that sucrose has a D-line of
+66.4, while the products glucose and fructose have a D-line of +52.7 and -92.4, because
fructose and glucose exist in relatively equal portions in solutions, the overall D-line
value for the solution will be negative. A positive D-line refers to a clockwise rotation
while a negative D-line refers to an anticlockwise direction. A polarimeter is a device
used to determine the angle of rotation of plane polarized light. It functions by passing a
beam of light through a polarizer, which in turn passing through the sample an analyzer
and detector are then used to determine the degree to which the light was rotated and in
what direction.
Errors in the experiment may arise in many different ways throughout the procedure, one
error though is the fact that there is delay in the recording of the initial r value from the
experiment. As soon as the two solutions are mixed together, the reaction begins, but the
measurement is delayed due to the fact that the solutions are mixed in a separate vessel
and then have to be transferred to the polarimeter tube. This delay can be decreased
though if the solutions are added into the tube separately, this may result in a better r
i
being recorded. Errors that are propagated in the beginning of a kinetics experiment will
be apparent in every successive reading taken, and when ln is taken of the taken, the
points to the end of the reaction begin to deviate from the linear plot, hence affecting the
value of the rate constant.
