Answer 1

• $\large \pmb{\bf{\underline{\gray{Solution :-}}}}$

$\sf {Assume\:\:\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\left ( \dfrac{x!}{x} \right )^{\dfrac{1}{x}} = L}$

• Take log both sides, we get

$\sf {ln(L)=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left ( \dfrac{1}{x} \right )ln \left ( \dfrac{x!}{x} \right )}$

• $\pmb{\sf{\gray{ Put\ value\ of\ x! }}}$

$\sf {ln(L)=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left ( \dfrac{1}{x} \right )ln \left ( \dfrac{x(x-1)!}{x} \right )}$

$\sf {ln(L)=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left ( \dfrac{1}{x} \right )ln \left ( (x-1)! \right )}$

$\sf {ln(L)=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \dfrac{ln \left ( (x-1)! \right )}{x}}$

• $\pmb{\tt{Multiplying \ with\ ( x - 1 )\ in\ numerator\ and\ denominator\, we\ get\ }}$

$\sf {ln(L)=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} (x-1)\dfrac{ln \left ( (x-1)! \right )}{x(x-1)}}$

• $\pmb{\sf{We\ know\ that}}$

$\sf {\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \dfrac{ln \left ( x! \right )}{x}=\infty}$

$\sf {ln(L)=(\infty) \displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \dfrac{x-1}{x}}$

$\sf {ln(L)=(\infty) \displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(1-\dfrac{1}{x}\right)}$

• Put value of limits,

$\sf {ln(L)=(\infty) \left(1-\dfrac{1}{\infty}\right)}$

$\sf {ln(L)=(\infty) \left(1-0\right)}$

$\sf {ln(L)=\infty}$

$\sf{L=e^{\infty}}$

$\sf{L=\infty}$

Answer 2

Answer:

SN1 reactions

Slow, rate determining step

(CH3)3 CBr → (CH3)3 C+ + Br-

Fast step

(CH3)3 C+ + OH-→ (CH3)3 COH

The first step is slow because it involves bond breaking, while the second step is rapid because it involves the attraction of oppositely charged ions. The reaction is unimolecular (hence the '1' in SN1) because only one species is involved in the rate determining step.

SN2 reactions

Slow, rate determining step

C4 H9 Br + OH- → C4 H9 OH + Br-

This step is slow because it involves bond breaking. The reaction is bimolecular (hence the '2' in SN2) because two species are involved in the slow step.
