Q
Racemate
A
Mixture of 2 equal quantities of 2 enantiomers
Optically inactive as enantiomers cancel each other out each other’s effect
Plane of polarised light not changed

Q
How is a racemate formed by synthesis
A
Achiral substances converted into chiral
Chirality can only be disguised in chiral environment
Achiral substance in Achiral environment has no preference to wither enantiomer
