Suppose, there are two different compounds 'X' and 'Y'. They are not enantiomers. 'X' has a specific rotation of +12° and 'Y' has a specific rotation of -12°. Now,
1. Will there be any net optical rotation of a solution that contains equal conc. of 'X' and 'Y'?
2. Will there be any net optical rotation of a solution that contains equal amount of 'X' and 'Y'?
