Which of the following factors has no effect on the rate of SN1 reactions?a. the nature of the alkyl halide. b. the nature of the leaving group c. the concentration of the alkyl halide d. the concentration of the nucleophile e. the value of the rate constant

In an SN1 mechanism, the rate determining step is the formation of the carbocation. The nucleophile does not appear in the rate equation because the rate determining step is unimolecular and entirely depends on the concentration of the alkyl halide.

Hence, the concentration of the nucleophile has no effect on the rate of an SN1 reaction because the rate determining step involves only the alkyl halide.

The factor which has no effect on the rate of SN¹ reaction is the concentration of the nucleophile.

What is SN¹ reaction?

SN¹ reaction is known as unimolecular nucleophilic reaction, which is completed in two steps.

First step in the SN¹ reaction is the rate determining step i.e. that step determines the rate of reaction. And in this step formation of carbocation takes place because of the loss of leaving group from the reactant. So, rate of reaction is not depends on the concentration of attacking nucleophile.

Hence, option (d) is correct.
