Chemistry - Halogen Derivative Question with Solution | TestHub

Lactic acid$\left(\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3\mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}\right(\mathrm{O}\mathrm{H}\left)\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{H}\right)$is an optically active compound due to the presence of asymmetric carbon atom. It exists in D- and L-form, the ratio of which is found to be (1:1), i.e., a racemic mixture is obtained.
