What type of reaction does sulfuric acid favor? Sn1 or Sn2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that between Sn1 and E1, it will favor the E1, but in a question with only Sn1 and Sn2 I don't know which. Please help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well sulphuric acid is a polar protic acid right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since we know Sn1 favours polar protic acid then sulfuric acid favours Sn1 reactions.
