(a)
Interpretation:
Predict which SN 1 reaction is faster.
Concept introduction:
SN1 reaction is a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. It is a first-order kinetics and a two-step mechanism in which bond breaking occurs before bond making. The mechanism has two steps. Carbocations are formed as reactive intermediates. The Heterolysis of the C - Br bond forms an intermediate carbocation. This is the rate-determining step because it involves only bond cleavage. The nucleophilic attack the carbocation forms the new bond in the product.
