Solution

The optical rotation of a stereoisomer of a compound would be the negative of the original compound. This is because stereoisomers are mirror images of each other and thus rotate plane-polarized light in equal magnitude but opposite directions. So, if the original compound has an optical rotation of +300, its stereoisomer would have an optical rotation of -300 under the same set of conditions.
