NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements is true regarding the SN1 reaction mechanism?
The rate of reaction depends only on the concentration of the haloalkane.
The reaction proceeds through a single-step mechanism.
SN1 reactions are typically carried out in non-polar solvents.
The nucleophile attacks the substrate before the leaving group departs.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an SN1 reaction, the rate of reaction depends only on the concentration of the haloalkane, as it follows first-order kinetics and involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate before the nucleophile attacks.
