Question

What is a Racemic mixture? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions is called racemic mixture. A recemic mixture is optically inactive as the effect of one isomer gets cancelled by another isomer. Racemisation. The process of conversion of enantiomers into a racemic mixture is known as racemisation

➣ A mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions will have zero optical rotation. Such a mixture is known as racemic mixture.

• E.g.- Racemic acid (racemic form of tartaric acid) is an equal mixture of two mirror-image isomers (enantiomers), optically active in opposing directions.
