SN1 is a substitution reaction with n being the nucleophilic substitution an 1 represents a unimolecular reaction. Because the given molecule on the central carbon is sterically hindered, the rate of carbocation formation is increased dramatically. It will make the OT (leaving group) to leave and a nucleophile (nucleophilic attack) will react to the carbocation.

Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - ${Br_2}_{(l)}$

At cathode - ${H_2}_{(g)}$

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

$H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-$

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

$NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-$

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

${Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-$

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

$2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}$
