For each pair of compounds, identify which is expected to undergo solvolysis more rapidly in water, and explain your choice in each case:

Solvolysis - A chemical reaction in which the solvent, such as water or alcohol, is one of the reagents and is present in great excess of that required for the reaction.

Note-  Dielectric constant can be thought of as the solvent's ability to lower the internal charge of the solvent. So for that reason, the higher the dielectric constant the more polar the substance and in the case of SN1( Unimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution) reactions, the faster the rate.

Explanation:

We have provide an example of the reaction which can show the limitation to which the reaction's speed is all based upon the terms mentioned.Below is the same reaction conducted in two different solvents and the relative rate that corresponds with it.
