Q. An enantiomerically pure acid is treated with racemic mixture of an alcohol having chiral carbon, the ester formed will be:

S1: Geometrical isomerism along double bond in cycloalkenes is possible with at least eight atoms in the ring.

S2: Tartaric acid

H O O C - C | H O H - C | H O H - C O O H

can have two meso forms which are mirror images and enantiomers of each other.

S3 : Organic molecules having only one chiral carbon atom are always optically active.

S4 : Enantiomer have same physical properties so they can not be seprated by fractional distallation.
