This question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points.
**Reaction Description:**
For the reaction below:
- The starting reactants are:
- A compound with a ketone functional group, depicted as a carbonyl group (C=O) with a three-carbon chain.
- A phenyl magnesium bromide (Grignard reagent), where a benzene ring is attached to MgBr.
- The reaction proceeds through two steps:
1. **Ether as a solvent**: The reaction is carried out in an ether solvent.
2. **H₃O⁺ (Acid Workup)**: The reaction mixture is treated with an aqueous acid.
**Explanation of Diagrams:**
- The ketone reactant is shown as a linear chain, with the carbonyl group bonded to an alkyl group.
- The Grignard reagent consists of a benzene ring with an MgBr group attached, indicating the Grignard's nucleophilicity.
- These compounds, when reacted, typically undergo nucleophilic addition where the Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon, leading to an alcohol product after the acidic workup.
