Question

a) what is recemic mixture ? why is it optically inactive? ​

Answer 1

Racemic mixture contains two enantiomers (d and l forms) in equal proportions and thus, the rotation due to one isomer is cancelled by the rotation due to another. Therefore, it has zero optical rotation and hence, it is optically inactive.
