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.
The hydrolysis of optically active 2-bromobutane with aqueous NaOH result in the formation of
(+) butan -2-ol
(-) butan-2-ol
(±) butan-1-ol
(±) butan-2-ol
D.
(±) butan-2-ol
In case of organic reactions, to differentiate between first order and second order kinetics, you should check the stability of carbocation. If carbocation is stable, then it will follow first order kinetics otherwise second order kinetics Since,2°- carbocation is stable so given reaction follows first order kinetics.
Usually 1° carbocatlon follows second order kinetics and 2° or 3° carbocation follows first order kinetics.The reaction between 2-bromobutane with aqueous NaOH follows first order kinetics, i.e the rate of the reaction depends upon the concentration of 2- bromobutane (SN1 mechanism).
Smee, the 2-bromobutane is optically active than the product is a racemic mixture. This is because carbocations are as intermediates in SN1 reactions Smee, carbocation being sp2 -hybridised is planar (achiral) species, the attack of the nucleophle on it can occur from both the faces (front and rear) with almost equal case giving a 50-50 mxture of two enantiomers. So, 2 bromobutane gives racemic of(±)butan-2-ol

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
