Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing reactivity with water (solvolysis). (1 = most reactive)
This is an SN1 reaction. We know this because none of the reagents have charges (H2O is neutral; if it were HO-, it would probably be SN2 or E2). So a carbocation will be formed in this reaction, and the compound whose carbocation is the most stable will react the fastest. So the 3º bromide will react fastest with water.
