Consider the structure of cholesterol. Identify the number of asymmetric carbon atoms in the structure. Number of asymmetric carbons An aqueous solution containing \( 7.09 \mathrm{~g} \) of an optically-pure compound was diluted to \( 4.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~mL} \) with water and placed in a \( 15.0 \mathrm{~cm} \) long polarimeter tube. The measured rotation was \( -4.35^{\circ} \) at \( 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \). Calculate the specific rotation of the compound.
