The mechanism of Sn1 reaction is given as:

R-XRXR  XYR-Y+X              lon pair      Solvent                             Speparated ion                                      pair

A student writes general characteristics based on the given mechanism as :
(a) The reaction is favoured by weak nucleophiles.
(b) R would be easily formed if the substituents are bulky y
(c) The reaction is accompanied by recemization
(d) The reaction is favoured by non-polar solvents.

Which observations are correct?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Above reaction isSN1reaction as it proceed via formation of carbocation. Polar protic solvent is more suitable forSN1and recemisation takes place.
