Answer:
+15.8°
Explanation:
The formula for the observed rotation (α) of an optically active sample is
α = [α]<em>lc
</em>
where
<em>l</em> = the cell path length in decimetres
<em>c</em> = the concentration in units of g/100 mL
[α] = the specific rotation in degrees
1. Convert the concentration to units of g/100 mL

2. Calculate the observed rotation

Polyester is a condensation polymer of dicarboxylic acid and diol.
Example : Polethylene terphthalate is polymer of ethylene glycol and tere phthallic acid.
When a strong acid like HCl or a strong base like NaOH comes in contact with polyester (like spilled on slacks) it causes hydrolysis of polyester and it get converted back to dicarboxylic and diol(the monomers).
the general reaction will be
RCOOR' ---> RCOOH + R'OH
Thus slacks will get teared.
The origins of the word fossil are French and Latin
