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 the difference between racemic mixture and mesocompounds?
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 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 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
How can you separate racemic mixture?
Lets have fun .never ask the hell like question.
When achiral starting materials yield a product that contains a chiral center the product will be?
racemic mixture
What is raceme?
racemization is defined as if we add cis and anti form it give rise to 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.

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.

Is cocaine the main ingredient in Adderall?
No. Adderall is composed of two dextroamphetamine salts and a racemic mixture of amphetamine salts.
Does aderall have pcp?
No, adderall does not contain PCP.Adderall is a combination of four amphetamine salts (racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate)
