1:1 molar solution of two enantiomers is recemic mixture and it may be resolved into two parts by chemical means while mesoform is a pure substance and can not be resolved, but both these are optically inactive.

What are racemic mixtures?
Mixtures containing equal amounts of levo- and dextro- forms of a compound and thus do not rotate the plane of polarized light passing through the mixture.
Why is it better to take a drug as the active enatiomer instead of the racemic mixture?
Taking a drug as the active enantiomer instead of the racemic mixture can be advantageous because the active enantiomer is usually responsible for the desired therapeutic effects, while the inactive enantiomer can contribute to unwanted side effects or have no therapeutic value. By using the active enantiomer, the drug's efficacy can be maximized, potentially reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, testing and developing a single enantiomer may be more cost-effective and efficient compared to handling and studying a racemic mixture.
What is benzoyl DL-arginine p-nitroaniline hydrochloride?
It is substrate used to measure proteas activity. Trypsin is one of the enzymes it is used for. The compound you mentioned is a racemic mixture and I believe it is only the L form that is an active substrate. Thomas Henriksson, Ph.D.
What is pastuer's salt?
You think probable to sodium ammonium salt of racemic acid.
What do you get when you react Propanal and hydrogen cyanide. Also why is it optically inactive and what name is given to such an inactive product?
I can't remember what you get but it's optically inactive because it's a racemic mixture. Which means that there is a 50:50 ratio of the (+) optical isomer and the (-) optical isomer. It's inactive because the (+) rotates plain polarised light clockwise and the (-) isomer rotates plain polarised light anticlockwise. So they cancel each other out because it's a racemic mix and therefore shows no optical activity.
What is A mixture of equal amounts of two enantiomers?
its called a racemic mixture and is optically inactive
Is there a structure for racemic mixture of tartaric acid?
its there. for the answer consult akash at akash.jonas@yahoo.com
What is difference between a racemic mixture and a meso compound?
Both are optically inactive, but for different reasons. A racemic mixture contains chiral molecules that, individually, are optically active. But the mixture contains optically active enantiomers, which essentially cancel out each other's optical activity (one enantiomer rotates light one way, the other rotates it back). A meso compound, however, is optically inactive on its own. It can have chiral centers within its structure, but due to symmetry it will still be optically inactive.
How can you separate racemic mixture?
Lets have fun .never ask the hell like question.
What is raceme?
racemization is defined as if we add cis and anti form it give rise to racemic mixture
When achiral starting materials yield a product that contains a chiral center the product will be?
racemic mixture
What is a recemate?
In chemistry, a racemic mixture is one that has equal amounts of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule. The first known racemic mixture, or racemate, was 'racemic acid', which Pasteur found to be a mixture of the two enantiomeric isomers of tartaric acid. A racemate is optically inactive: because the two isomers rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions they cancel out, therefore a racemic mixture does not rotate plane-polarized light. In contrast to the two separate enantiomers, which generally have identical physical properties, a racemate often has different properties compared to either one of the pure enantiomers. Different melting points and solubilities are very common, but different boiling points are also possible.
Different between atropine and hyoscyamine?
There is not much difference between them. Atropine and Hysocyamine are isomers of each other. Atropine is (+/-) Hyoscyamine, the tropic acid ester of tropine. The naturally occurring alkaloid is (-) Hyocyamine. Thus it can be said that Hyoscyamine is a racemic form of Atropine. In other words, Atropine is a racemic variety of tropine tropate, hysocyamine being the levorotatory enantiomorph of tropine tropate.
What is the difference between d-amphetamine and ic-amphetamine?
ic amphetamine salts are generic for Adderall IR, which contains 4 different types of amphetamine salts, racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate. All of these are amphetamine salts. ic amphetamine salts contain dextroamphetamine as well racemic amphetamine mixtures, which contain equal parts levo- and dextro- amphetamine. So the difference is that ic amphetamine salts (Adderall IR) contains ~75% dextoamphetamine and ~25% levoamphetamine.
What are racemic mixtures?

Hat is the difference between Adderall and generic Adderall?
There are only 2 possible difference, being price and inactive ingredients. The tablets will still contain the 1/4 dextroamphetamine saccharate, 1/4 dextroamphetamine sulfate, and 1/2 racemic mixture of two amphetamine salts (aspartate and sulfate, I believe) at concentrations identical to that of brand name Adderall as regulated by the FDA. I've taken both the brand name and generic Adderall before and did not experience any difference in quality.
