Draw a step-wise mechanism for the following substitution reaction. Be sure to add lone pairs and charges where relevant.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The image depicts a chemical reaction involving a cyclopentane ring with a chlorine (Cl) group attached to one of its carbon atoms. An arrow points to the right, indicating a chemical reaction toward water (H₂O). The diagram suggests a potential substitution or reaction involving the removal of the chlorine group in the presence of water. ### Explanation: 1. **Cyclopentane Ring**: A five-membered ring composed entirely of carbon atoms, depicted as a pentagon. 2. **Chlorine Substituent**: The Cl group is attached to one of the carbons in the ring, indicating a chlorinated cyclopentane. 3. **Reaction Arrow**: Indicates the direction of the chemical reaction, suggesting an interaction with water. 4. **Water (H₂O)**: Represents the potential reagent involved in the reaction. This sketch could represent a nucleophilic substitution reaction, where the chlorine atom is replaced by an -OH group from the water, resulting in the formation of a cyclopentanol derivative.
