### Transcription of Organic Chemistry Reactions

The image provides two organic chemistry reactions, labeled as a) and b).

#### Reaction a)
1. **Reactant**: A cyclohexene molecule with a methyl group (CH₃) attached to the first carbon.
2. **Reagent**: Water (H₂O) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) as a catalyst.
3. **Product**: A cyclohexanol molecule where the double bond in the cyclohexene is hydrated, resulting in an alcohol (OH) group attached to the second carbon and the methyl group remaining on the first carbon.

#### Reaction b)
1. **Reactant**: A methylcyclopentene molecule with a methyl group (CH₃) attached adjacent to the double bond.
2. **Reagent**: Chlorine (Cl₂) and water (H₂O).
3. **Product**: A chlorohydrin, where the chlorine and hydroxyl group (OH) add to the carbons formerly involved in the double bond. The chlorine is shown on a wedge indicating the stereochemistry. The reaction also produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a byproduct.
