Current Attempt in Progress

Typically, increasing the concentration of the nucleophile of an Sₙ1 reaction has no impact on the rate of the reaction. The reason for this is that

O Since the nucleophile is not involved in the rate-determining step, changes in its concentration typically have no impact on the rate of reaction.
O Since the nucleophile is involved only in the second rate-determining step, changes in its concentration typically have
O Impact on the rate of reaction. an Sₙ1 reaction is a multi-step process; the overall reaction rate is determined by the rate of formation of the carbocation intermediate.
O An Sₙ1 reaction is a two-step process, the overall reaction rate is determined by the rate of formation of the carbanion intermediate.
