Define the following:
Racemic mixture

Solution
A mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions will have zero optical rotation, as the rotation due to one isomer will be cancelled by the rotation due to the other isomer. Such a mixture is called a racemic mixture or a racemic modification.
