Nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction is mainly of two types: S_(N)1 and S_(N)2 . The S_(N)1 mechanism is a two step process. Reaction velocity of S_(N)1 reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate. Since product formation takes place by the formation of carbocation, optically active substrate gives (+) and (-) forms of the product. In most of the cases the product usually consits of 5-20% inverted product and 80-95% racemised species. The more stable the carbocation, the greater is the proportion of racemisation. In solvolysis reaction, the more nucleophilic the solvent, the greater is the proportion of inversion. For the gives reaction, Which substrate will give maximum racemisation?

One hard and stormy night you find yourself lost in the forest when you come upon a small hut. Entering it you see a crooked old woman in the corner hunched over a crystal ball. You are about to make a hasty exit when you hear the howl of wolves outside. Taking another look at the gyspy you decide to take your chances with the wolves, but the door is jammed shut. Resigned to a bad situation you approach her slowly, wondering just what is the focal length of that nifty crystal ball. If the crystal ball is 20 cm in diameter with R.I = 1.5 , the gypsy lady is 1.2m from the ball , where is the image of the gypsy in focus as you walk towards her?

A solution at 20^(@)C is composed of 1.5 mol of benzene and 3.5 mol of toluene. If the vapour pressure of pure benzene and pure toluene at this temperature are 74.7 torr and 22.3 torr, respectively, then the total vapour pressure of the solution and the benzene mole fraction in equilibrium with it will be, respectively:
