An incorrect statement with respect to SN1 and SN2 mechanisms for alkyl halide is
A strong nucleophile in an aprotic solvent increases the rate or favours SN2 reaction.
Competing reaction for an SN2 reaction is rearrangement.
SN1 reactions can be catalysed by some Lewis acids.
A weak nucleophile and a protic solvent increases the rate or favours SN1 reaction.
B.
Competing reaction for an SN2 reaction is rearrangement.
Among the given statements, statement b is the incorrect one.
During SN2 reaction of alkyl halide, inversion of configuration takes place instead of rearrangement. While SN1 reaction occurs through the formation of carbocation intermediate which is favoured by the presence of lewis acid and aprotic solvent. Rearrangement is also possible as
CH3X + KOH (aq) → CH3OH + KX

(+) butan -2-ol
(-) butan-2-ol
(±) butan-1-ol
(±) butan-2-ol

The compound formed on heating chlorobenzene with chloral in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid is

Ethyl alcohol is used as a preservative for chloroform because it :
prevent aerial oxidation of chloroform
prevents decomposition of chloroform
decomposes phosgene to CO and Cl2
removes phosgene by converting it to ethyl carbonate
