5. The following reaction is a hydrolysis: a reaction where water, acts as the solvent and the nucleophile. This is a tertiary substrate so it is expected to react through SN1 mechanism. H₂O CI a. Draw the different steps of the mechanism. (Use curved arrows) b. If the leaving group was Br, would the reaction rate be faster or slower? Please circle. c. Will the hydrolysis reaction render a pure enantiomer or a racemic mixture? Please, explain briefly.
