Racemic mixture In chemistry, a racemic mixture or racemate (/ reɪˈsiːmeɪt, rə -, ˈræsɪmeɪt / [1]) is a mixture that has equal amounts (50:50) of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral …

May 23, 2012 · A "racemic mixture" is an equal mixture of two enantiomers - like 100 left shoes and 100 right shoes, or an equal collection of left & right gloves

A racemic mixture or racemate is a mixture that contains an equal amount of two enantiomers. Racemic mixtures are optically inactive.
