Answer #1

2-bromo-2-methyl-propane undergoes hydrolysis in water. This reaction is an example of SN1 (Nucleophilic substitution -Unimolecular), i.e. rate determining step is Unimolecular. 2-bromo-2-methyl-propane gives tertiary Carbocation (t-Butyl cation) , which acts as reaction intermediate; after attack of water molecule ( nucleophile) is gives 2-methyl-2-propanol, after removal of proton.

Mechanism of this reaction:

Mechanism pate = ketBu-Br. CH3 D.D.S. CH3 H₂ C-c-Br slow HC-Cot By CH₂ (3) CH3 cintermediate) (2-Bromo-2-hethyl Propane) OH H
