			| Kratki opis metode: | The  polarimeter  is  an  optical  instrument  that measures  the  angle  of  rotation  of  a  polarized light  that  passes  through  an  optically  active material.  In  view  of  the  above,  the  use  of  the polarimeter  also  determines  the  rate  of  the reaction  of  the  saccharose  hydrolytic decomposition  so  that  the  given  solutions  of saccharose and acid are prepared in separated flasks  and  mixed  in  the  glass.  Thus  prepared solution is placed into the cuvette exerted into the  instrument.  On  a  polarimeter  scale,  the angle of rotation of the polarized light is read at certain  time  intervals.  Based  on  the  data obtained,  the  constant  of  the  inversion  rate reaction can be determined by the least squares method. |
