MCQ
Given below are two statements :

Statement $(I)$ : $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reactions are 'stereospecific', indicating that they result in the formation only one stereo-isomers as the product.

Statement $(II)$ : $\mathrm{S}_N 1$ reactions generally result in formation of product as racemic mixtures. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true

  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ is false

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ is true
c

$\,$
Considering acetic acid dissociates in water, its dissociation constant is $6.25 \times 10^{-5}$. If $5 \mathrm{~mL}$ of acetic acid is dissolved in $1$ litre water, the solution will freeze at $-\mathrm{x} \times 10^{-2}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, provided pure water freezes at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

$\mathrm{x}=$ . . . . . . . . . (Nearest integer)

Given : $\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{r}}\right)_{\text {water }}=1.86 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.

density of acetic acid is $1.2 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

molar mass of water $=18 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.

molar mass of acetic acid $=60 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.

density of water $=1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
