student submitted image, transcription available below
The optically active alkyl halide \\( \\mathbf{X} \\) shown below can undergo nucleophilic substitution with hydroxide ion by both \\( \\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 1 \\) and \\( \\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2 \\) reaction mechanisms. (i) Draw the structure(s) of the product(s) formed for each mechanism. (ii) Write a mechanism for the \\( \\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2 \\) process. (iii) List two ways that could be used to distinguish experimentally which mechanism is operating.
