### Reaction Schemes in Organic Chemistry

The image presents two reaction schemes involving a chlorine-substituted cyclopentane derivative reacting under different conditions. 

#### Reaction (a)
- **Reactant**: A chlorine-substituted cyclopentane with an alkyl chain.
- **Reagent**: \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (water).
- **Reaction**: The image uses a forward arrow pointing to a question mark, indicating the expected product is not specified.

#### Reaction (b)
- **Reactant**: Identical to reaction (a), the same chlorine-substituted cyclopentane with an alkyl chain.
- **Reagent**: \( \text{-OH} \) (possibly indicating a hydroxide ion as a base).
- **Reaction**: The image uses a forward arrow pointing to a question mark, indicating the expected product is not specified.

These reactions likely explore different transformation pathways for the starting material under nucleophilic substitution or elimination conditions. The presence of water and hydroxide hints at potential substitution or elimination products, respectively. However, the details of the transformations depend on specific reaction mechanisms which are not stated in the image.
