Question
Chapter 21, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to ‘the racemization of
Concept introduction:
The mixture that has equal number of enantiomers is commonly known as racemic mixture. The racemic mixture is optically inactive in nature.
Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and therefore; they rotate the plane of polarized light in equal and opposite direction.
