Answer #1

(a)  CH3CH2OH + HCl → CH3CH2Cl + H2O

Here -OH group in alcohol is substituted by Cl- in HCl. Hence this is an example of substitution reaction.

(b) Here Cl2 is added along the C=C double bond to form CH3CHClCHClCH2CH3. Hence this is an example of addition reaction.

(c) This would be an elimination reaction and the given reaction is wrongly represented.

(d) CH3CHCHCH3 + H2O → CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3

Here H2O is added across the carbon-carbon double bond to form alcohol. Hence this is an example of hydration (addition of H2O) reaction

(e)  CH3CH2CH2CCH + H2O → CH3CH2CH2CH2COCH3

Here H2O is added across the carbon-carbon triple bond to enol which rearranges to form ketone. Hence this is an example of hydration (addition of H2O) reaction.

(f) CH3CH2Br + H2 → HBr + CH2CH2

This is an example of dehydrohalogination reaction in which alkyl halide on elimination forms alkene. Hence this is  dehydrohalogination ( or elimination reaction).

(g) CH3CH2CHBrCHCHCH3 + HBr → CH3CH2CHBrCH2CHBrCH3

Here HBr is added across the carbon-carbon double bond to form alkyl bromide. Hence this is an example of addition reaction
