![### Organic Chemistry Reaction Mechanisms
In organic chemistry, understanding reaction mechanisms is key to predicting the products of chemical reactions. Below are two reaction schemes along with a list of potential mechanisms. Your task is to identify the correct mechanism for each reaction.
#### Reaction Schemes
1. **Reaction 1:**
\[
\text{Benzene} + \text{Cyclohexene} \xrightarrow{\ce{H2SO4}} \text{Biphenyl}
\]
2. **Reaction 2:**
\[
\text{Phenol} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Phenoxide Ion} + \text{Water}
\]
#### List of Mechanisms
- **a = Proton transfer**
- **b = Lewis acid/base**
- **c = Radical chain substitution**
- **d = Radical chain addition**
- **e = Electrophilic addition**
- **f = E1 Elimination**
- **g = E2 Elimination**
- **h = S_N1 Nucleophilic substitution**
- **i = S_N2 Nucleophilic substitution**
- **j = Electrophilic aromatic substitution**
#### Instructions
Identify the mechanism by which each of the reactions above proceeds from among the mechanisms listed. Use the letters **a - j** for your answers.
- **Reaction 1:** ____
- **Reaction 2:** ____
#### Explanation of Graphs/Diagrams
The diagrams depict the reactants and products in each reaction.
1. **Reaction 1:**
- The reactants are Benzene and Cyclohexene, which react in the presence of sulfuric acid (\(\ce{H2SO4}\)) to form Biphenyl.
2. **Reaction 2:**
- The reactants are Phenol and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). The reaction yields a Phenoxide Ion and Water (\(\ce{H2O}\)).
### Conclusion
Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for predicting the course of reactions in organic chemistry. Here, you are tasked with determining the type of mechanism that applies to the given reactions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F793b6aff-f148-4523-8250-7b38a941d7e6%2Fbcccdcd7-0341-48f0-a2b2-2acaea40daa2%2F0cjt2x_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
