### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding SN1 Reaction**: - The SN1 reaction is a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. The rate of this reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate and not on the nucleophile. This means that the reaction follows first-order kinetics. - In SN1, a carbocation intermediate is formed after the leaving group departs. This carbocation can be attacked by the nucleophile from either side (front or back). 2. **Stereochemistry of SN1**: - When the nucleophile attacks the carbocation, it can do so from either the front or the back. ...
