See the attachment.

1. See Figure 1 for equations. Note: the reactant has E- and Z- isomers, but both would give the same products in this problem.
a. Gives Markovnikov addition
b. Gives anti-Markovnikov addition of water
c. Produces an alkane
d. Produces a diol
e. Bromination of an alkene gives a 1,2 dibromoalkane. Note: If the alkene is cyclic, only the trans dibromo product is formed.
f. Gives Markovnikov addition
2. See Figure 2.
a. Reactant is 2-butyne.
Notes on part a: The product could be cis or trans (not specified in the question). Lindlar's catalyst plus hydrogen gas (see problem 11a) will give the cis isomer. The treatment shown here ...
