Does water favor SN1 or SN2 reactions?
Delilah AndersonGiven that water is a weak nucleophile and lacks a negative charge (such as -OH or iodine), it would be favorable to SN1.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- Why do elimination reactions compete with substitution reactions when alkyl halides react with a nucleophile?
- Why do carbocations rearrange?
- What conditions are present to determine whether a reaction will be sn1 or sn2?
- If substitution of a nucleophile has happened, does that mean it is an E or an SN reaction?
- Regarding E2 reactions, predict the stereochemistry of the bromoalkene that would result from the loss of one mol of #HBr# from meso- and from (±)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane. Which reaction should be slower? Why?
