Predict the major product of the following reaction, and give a mechanism to support your prediction.

(a)Optically active 2-bromobutane undergoes racemization on treatment with a solution of KBr. Give a mechanism for this racemization.
(b)In contrast, optically active butan-2-ol does not racemize on treatment with a solution of KOH. Explain why a reaction like that in part (a) does not occur.
(c)Optically active butan-2-ol racemizes in dilute acid. Propose a mechanism for this racemization.
Predict the compound in each pair that will undergo the SN2 reaction faster.
