Question

I am trying to fill out a table for my experiment "Liquid CO2 Extraction of D-Limonene from Orange Rind" and am having trouble calculating the specific rotation.

This is what I have so far.

	D-Limonene
Mass (g)	0.015 g
Odor	Citrus-Orange
Percentage Yield	0.14%
Optical Rotation	+95.5˚
Specific Rotation
Theoretical Specific Rotation	+115.5˚ at 20˚C
Enantiomeric Excess (% ee)	82.68%
Refractive Index	1.4437
Theoretical Refractive Index (20˚)	1.47 at 20˚

I am having trouble will calculations and everyone I ask says something different or has drastically different numbers. Do these numbers look right?
