I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

Which identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction?
Alchen [17]

The statement that identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction is a reaction in which oxidation numbers change (option C).

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

A redox or oxidation-reduction reaction is a chemical reaction in which some of the atoms have their oxidation number changed.

In a chemical reaction that involves oxidation and reduction, the oxidation number of the involved ions either decreases or increases.

Therefore, the statement that identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction is a reaction in which oxidation numbers change.

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.
