Answer:
(1) Bromination, (2) E2 elimination and (3) epoxidation
Explanation:
- In the first step, -OH group in cyclopentanol is replaced by more facile leaving group Br by treating cyclopentanol with
- In the second step, E2 elimination in presence of strong base e.g. NaOEt/EtOH produce cyclopentene
- In the third step, treatment of cyclopentene with mCPBA produces 1,2-epoxycyclopentane
- Full reaction scheme has been shown below

Answer:
The type of reaction for the following equation is combustion equation.
Explanation:
Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.
The reaction given to us:
When 1 mole of ethane reacts with 7/2 moles of oxygen gas it gives 3 moles of water and 2 moles of carbon dioxide gas.
The type of reaction for the following equation is combustion equation.
