What is known as a racemic mixture ? give an example?

Answered by admin @



Mixture of two optically active compounds that are the enantiomer of one another having the power to rotate light in different direction but same quantity is called racemic mixture. This mixture is optically inactive if we see as whole. This mixture is formed by an optically active compound and it's mirror image.
The example is......
Racemic mixture formed with lactic acid and it's mirror image. Lactic acid and it's mirror image are optically active differently but this mixture is formed by mixing them in same quantity so they neutralize the rotation of light. So it is optically inactive as whole.
