E1 and SN1 reactions can compete. Check all of the reasons why E1 predominates in this week's reaction.

-no good nucleophile is present in solution

-the E1 product is distilled out of the reaction mixture as it is formed, thus the reaction is driven to completion (Le Chatelier's Principle)

-the intermediate carbocation is too sterically hindered for substitution to occur

-the nucleophile is too bulky for substitution to occur
