Assertion : Optically active alkyl halide undergo racemisation in S_(N)1 reaction Reason : Intermediate carbocation has planar geometry.

Assertion : 'Nucleophilic s'ubstitutionon an optically active alkyl halide gives a mixture of enantiomers. Reason : The reaction occurs according to S_N2 mechanism.

S_N^1 reaction takes placed in two steps. The relative reactivity of an alkyl halide in S_N^1 reaction depends on the relative stability of carbocations formed by ionisation. What will happen to the optical activity of a dextro rotatory isomer of alkyl halide if it undergoes hydrolysis by S_N^1 mechanism ?

Statement 1: A solution of sucrose in water is dextrorotatory but on hydrolysis in presence of little hydrochloride acid, it becomes laevorotatory. Statement 2: Sucrose on hydrolysis gives unequal amounts of glucose and fructose as a result of which change in sign of rotation is observed.

On kinetic consideration nucleophilic substitution in aryl/alkyl halides may be SN^1 or SN^2 mechanisms. Briefly explain SN2 mechanism with an example.
