Roderick Koch · Answer 1

The rate determining step for the reactivity for the solvolysis of 2-chloro-norbornane depends only on the decomposition of a single molecular species which is the 2-chloro-norbornane itself. For unimolecular reactions, the mechanism pathway being followed is that of an SN1 mechanism.

Answer:

SN1 mechanism
