CH3CH2C(CH3)BrCH2CH2CH3 --------------------------------->
[CH3CH2C(CH3)+CH2CH2CH3] ------------------------------->
CH3CH2C(CH3)OCH3CH2CH2CH3
The "+" in the second product written is the positive charge residing on the tertiary carbon indicative of an SN1 mechanism. The brackets around it indicate that it is an intermediate. Hope this helps. Good luck.

H3O+ is very almost the comparable as H+ in an H2O answer. H3O is greater wisely referred to as H9O4+ H7O3+ or H5O2+ because of the fact it is in basic terms a proton (H+) weakly shared via 2, 3 or 4 different water molecules. The water from this dissociation is a made of the protonation of hydroxide, no longer a reagent. additionally i want to wager that H2SO4 (a reliable acid via the way) isn't utilized with the intention to maintain sulfate out of the answer completely.

Same as every SN1 reaction.
