. Give Reason Racemic mixture is optically inactive

Best Answer

Explanation:

Racemic mixture is an equimolecular mixture of enantiomeric pairs. 

The  rotation of one enantiomer is cancelled by the rotation of other enantiomers

Hence racemic mixture is optically inactive.

Final Answer: Hence  Racemic mixture is optically inactive because it is an equimolar mixture of enantiomeric pairs which cancels rotation of each other.
