Question
  1. The SN1 reaction is a two-step reaction, and the first step of this reaction is the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Draw the carbocation intermediates that form from the alkyl chlorides in tubes 8 and 15.

 

2. Again, use tubes 8 and 15 to answer the following question. In general, the more stable carbocation forms faster. Given this, which carbocation is more stable, or do they have the same stability?
