Write chemical equations for the reaction that takes place between each of the following pairs of reactants:

(a) 2-Butanol and hydrogen bromide

---

(b) 3-Ethyl-3-pentanol and hydrogen chloride

---

(c) 1-Tetradecanol and hydrogen bromide

Sample Solution (a) An alcohol and a hydrogen halide react to form an alkyl halide and water. In this case 2-bromobutane was isolated in 73% yield.
