Step 1: Sn1 product
SN1 reaction is substitution nucleophilic unimolecular.
In this type of reaction there are two steps involved in which formation of carbocation is an intermediate step and also the rate determining step. Bond breaks between the leaving group and the organic moiety such that the bond pair of electrons are drawn towards leaving group resulting in carbocation.
Now the attack of nucleophile on carbocation takes place quickly.
The reaction is:
Mechanism:
