Answer:
When equal amounts of d− isomer and l− isomer are mixed one gets a '' racemic mixture" and this process is called racemisation. For example, when equal amounts of d− tartaric acid and l− tartaric acid are mixed, we get racemic tartaric acid which is opticalled inactive mixture.

Racemization is a process wherein optically active compounds (which consist of only one enantiomer) are converted into an equal mixture of enantiomers with zero optical activity (a racemic mixture). Racemization rates are dependent on the molecule and conditions such as pH and temperature.
