Explain the effect of the solvent on the reaction kinetics with respect to an SN1 mechanism.

How to explain 50%/50% acetone/water & 60%/40% acetone/water with reference to the above to the above (from results half life was way less in 50/50)

According to the data chart, the Rate constant for the hydrolysis of tertbutylchloride in 50/50 acetone/water (volume) is: k=1.03E-2/min^1
The rate constant for the hydrolysis of tertbutylchloride in 60/40 acetone/water is: K=2.9E-3/min^-1
