Optical Rotating Power Of Organic Substances And Its Practical Applications (1902)

The book ""The Optical Rotating Power Of Organic Substances And Its Practical Applications"" was written by Hans Landolt and first published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive study of the optical properties of organic substances, with a focus on their ability to rotate the plane of polarized light. The book begins with an introduction to the principles of polarized light and the measurement of optical rotation. It then goes on to explore the various factors that can affect the optical rotation of organic substances, including chemical structure, temperature, and solvent composition. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the practical applications of optical rotation in fields such as chemistry, pharmacy, and food science. It covers topics such as the determination of enantiomeric purity, the analysis of sugar content in food, and the identification of natural products. Throughout the book, Landolt provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and related disciplines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
