1. A racemic mixture hasnegative optical rotation |
|
Answer» As a consequnce of this, a 50:50 MIXTURE of the two enantiomers will not ROTATE PLANE polarised light because the effects of the two enantiomers cancel each other out, MOLECULE for molecule. This type of mixture is called a racemate or a racemic mixture. The specific rotation of a racemic mixture is zero. |
