FACT: It was revealed that a molecule experiences a configuration inversion during SN2 reactions. 2-Iodooctane that is optically active was reacted with Na131I in acetone. It was found that the reaction's pace was dependent on both [RI] and [I-], however racemization happened at a rate that was twice as rapid as isotopic exchange. Explain these findings in no less than 5 sentences. Illustrate as needed.

Use the Text Submission box to answer the following question. Consider the reaction shown below. For a particular concentration of sodium methoxide, the absorbance at 244 nm is measured using UV-vis spectroscopy. Over an initial period, the absorbance at 244 nm increases from 0.50 to 0.60.
