Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
The reactant involved in above reaction is secondary alkyl halide. This `2^(@)` alkyl halide contain bulky group thats why it follow `S_(N)1` mechanism instead of `S_(N^(2))` mechanism, a stable carbocation will be formed as an intermediate. It is further attacked by `HO^(-)` nucleophile

Which of the following statements are correct about the kinetics of this reaction ?A. The rate of reaction depends on the concentration of only (ii)B. The rate of reaction depends on concentration of both (i) and (ii)C. Moleculirity of reaction is oneD. Molecularity of reaction is two

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
The above reaction follows `S_(N)1` mechanism. In `S_(N)1` mechanism formation of carbocation is a slow step. So, the rate of reaction depends upon the concentration of (ii). So, the rate of reaction depends upon the concentration of only (ii) therefore, molecularity of reaction is one.

The high reactivity of alkyl halides can be explained in tems of nature of C-X bond which is highly polarised covalent bond due to large difference in the electronegativities of carbon and halogen atom. This polarity is responsible for the nucleophilic substitution reaction of alkyl halides which mostly occur by `S_(N^(1))` and `S_(N^(2))` mechanisms. `S_(N^(1))` reaction is a two step process and in the first step R-X ionises to give carbocation (slow process). In the second step the nucleophilic attacks the carbocation from either side to form the prodcut (fast process) . In `S_(N^(1))` reaction there can be reacemization and inversion . `S_(N^(1))` reaction is favoured by heavy (bulky) groups on the carbon atom attached to halogens. i.e., `R_(3)C-Xgt R_(2)CH-Xgt R_CH_(2)X gt CH_(3)X. " In " S_(N^(2))` reaction the strong nucleophilie `OH^(-)` attacks from the opposite side of the chlorine atom to give an inyermediate (transition state). which breaks to yield the product (alcohol) and leaving `(X^(-))` group. The alcohol has a configuration opposite to that of the bromide and is said to proceed with inversion of configuration. `S_(N^(2))` reaction is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom attached to halogen i.e., `CH_(3)-X gt R-CH_(2)X gt R_(2) CHX gt R_(3) C-X` `S_(N^(1))` reaction of optically active alkyl halide leads to :A. retention of configurationB. racemisationC. inversion of configurationD. none of these

The removal of two atoms or groups one generally hydrogen `(H^(+))` and the other a leaving group `(L^(-))` resulting in the formation of unsaturated compound is known as elimination reaction. In `E_(1)` (elimination) reactions the C-L bond is broken heterolytically (in step 1) to form a carbocation (as in`S_(N^(1))` reaction) in which `(L^(-))` is lost (rate determining step). The carbocation (in step 2) loses a proton from the `beta-` carbon atom by a base (nucleophile) to form an alkene. `E_(1)` reaction is favoured in compounds in which the leaving group is at secondar `(2^(@))` or tertiary`(3^(@))` Position. In `E_(2)` (elimination) reactions two sigma bonds are broken and a `pi-`bond is formed simultaneously.`E_(2)` reactions occur in one step through a transition state. `E_(2)` reactions are most common in haloalkanes (particulary `1^(@)`) and better the leaving group higher is the `E_(2)` reaction. In `E_(2)` reactions, both the leaving groups should be antiplaner. `E_(1) cb` (Elimination unimolecular conjugate base) reaction involves the removal of proton by a conjugate base (step 1) to produce carbanion which loses a leaving group to form an alkene (step 2) and is a slow step 2-Bromopentane is heated with potassium ethoxide in ethanol.
