Answer:

m-CPBA followed by base catalysed hydrolysis

Explanation:

The scheme of this reaction is shown in the image attached.

Bumek [7]

Answer:- $2AuClO_4(aq) + CaBr_2(aq)\rightarrow 2AuBr(s)+ Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq)$

Explanations:- It's a double replacement reaction where a precipitate of silver(I)bromide is formed. A dpuble replacement reaction in general looks as AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB

To balance the equation we need to multiply gold compounds on both sides by 2 and the balanced equation is..

$2AuClO_4(aq) + CaBr_2(aq)\rightarrow 2AuBr(s)+ Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq)$
