As it is optically active alkyl halide and follows S N 1 mechanism, it is accompanied by racemisation. Thus, it will give both R and S products.

Q. $(R) - 2 -$ bromobutane upon treatment with aq. $N a O H$ gives

As $(R) 2$ -bromobutane is a $3^{\circ}$ halide, so it will undergo $S_{N} 1$ mechanism. As it is optically active alkyl halide and follows $S_{N} 1$ mechanism, it is accompanied by racemisation. Thus, it will give both $R$ and $S$ products.

Q. (R)−2− bromobutane upon treatment with aq. NaOH gives

As (R)2-bromobutane is a 3∘ halide, so it will undergo SN​1 mechanism. As it is optically active alkyl halide and follows SN​1 mechanism, it is accompanied by racemisation. Thus, it will give both R and S products.
