The hydrolysis of tert-butyl chloride proceeds less rapidly in a solvent mixture which is 15% water/85% acetone than in one which is 85% water/15% acetone. Why? O The reaction proceeds by an SN2 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. O The solvent which contains a greater percentage of water is less polar, and this destabilizes the tert-butyl chloride. None of the above. O The reaction proceeds by an SN1 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. O The transition state in the carbocation formation step is better stabilized in the more polar solvent mixture.

The following graph outlines the mechanism of an SN1 reaction. Energy R R-C-X+ Nu: R R-CO R AE Nu: Reaction Progress Accordingly, it would be correct to state: -AE + R-C-Nu R - The carbocation has lower energy than any transition state. - The small activation energies show that it is a thermodynamically favorable reaction. - The formation of the carbocationic intermediate releases energy, which is why it is thermodynamically favorable. - Represents a reaction that occurs in one step where a pentavalent chemical species is formed.
