Solution

The statement that is not true regarding pairs of enantiomers is: "They react at identical rates with chiral reagents".

Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images and have identical physical properties (like boiling points and melting points) and rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions. However, they can react differently with other chiral molecules. This is because the spatial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule can affect how it interacts with other chiral molecules. Therefore, enantiomers may not react at identical rates with chiral reagents.
