What is the Major product for each of the following reactions?

### Organic Chemistry Reactions

This image presents a series of three organic chemistry reactions, each labeled with a lowercase letter and depicting specific reagents and conditions:

#### Reaction h.)

- **Starting Material**: A bicyclic alkene.
- **Reagents**: 
  - 1) Mercuric acetate \([Hg(OAc)_2]\) and water (\(H_2O\))
  - 2) Sodium borohydride (\(NaBH_4\))
- **Description**: This represents an oxymercuration-demercuration reaction for the transformation of an alkene into an alcohol. The double bond in the alkene reacts with mercuric acetate and water to form a mercurinium ion intermediate, which is then reduced using sodium borohydride to yield an alcohol.

#### Reaction i.)

- **Starting Material**: A terminal alkene.
- **Reagents**: Dilute hydrobromic acid (HBr).
- **Description**: This reaction depicts the hydrohalogenation of an alkene using HBr. The alkene undergoes an addition reaction with the hydrobromic acid, resulting in the formation of a bromoalkane.

#### Reaction j.)

- **Starting Material**: An internal alkene.
- **Reagents**: Hydrogen gas (\(H_2\)) and a nickel (Ni) catalyst.
- **Description**: This is an example of catalytic hydrogenation, where an internal alkene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a nickel catalyst to form an alkane. This process involves the addition of hydrogen across the double bond, saturating the molecule.

These reactions illustrate common transformation techniques in organic synthesis, emphasizing the conversion of alkenes into different functional groups through the use of specific reagents and catalysts.
