Question

Assertion: SN1 reaction is basically a solvolysis reaction.

Reason: Polar protic solvents help the substrate to ionize and by the
way get involved in SN1 reaction.

Answer 1

Explanation:

SN1 reaction, first the substrate gets ionised and then, the nucleophile attacks at the cation. To ionise a substrate, presence of polar protic solvent is necessary, thus SN1 reactions are basically solvolysis reactions.
