SN1 reactions are favored by which of the following reactions?
Correct answer: A. Water
- A. Water
- B. Benzene
- C. Carbon Tetrachloride
- D. Carbon disulphide
Explanation

About Nucleophilic Substitution
Nucleophilic substitution replaces a leaving group in an alkyl halide when an electron-rich nucleophile attacks the carbon atom. The topic compares SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, including reaction conditions, substrate structure, solvent effects, nucleophile strength, carbocation formation and stereochemical changes, and distinguishes substitution from elimination.
