Those reactions in which Alkyl Halide reacts with the solvent without the involvement of any acid or base is called as Solvolysis. In given problem <em>tert</em>-Butyl Bromide is a tertiary Alkyl Halide and we know well that tertiary alkyl halides undergo SN¹ and E¹ elimination reaction due to the formation of stable tertiary carbocation.
