### Alcohol and Ether Reactions: Understanding Mechanisms

When studying organic chemistry, one often encounters various reactions involving alcohols and ethers. Below, we examine two such reactions and how to identify the mechanisms behind them.

#### Reactions and Mechanism Identification:

**Reaction 1:**

![Reaction 1](path/to/image)

\[ 
\text{Reactants:} \quad 
\chemfig{-[:30]\hspace{8pt}\hal[I]}
\quad 
\underset{\text{Initiates proton transfer}}{\xrightarrow{\text{NaHCO\textsubscript{3}}}}
\quad 
 \chemfig{\vphantom{CC}(-[:30](C))-[:30](=)}
 \quad
 \chemfig{HO\textsubscript{2}+ CO\textsubscript{2} + Na\textsubscript{i}}
 \]

**Reaction 2:**

\[ 
\text{Reactants:} \quad 
\chemfig{CH\textsubscript{3}[-(]-[:30]-[:-30]^{-O}[-(])
\quad 
\text{Initiates elimination} \quad
\underset{\text{for E2 elimination}}{\xrightarrow{\text{Na}}}
\quad \rightarrow
 \chemfig{\CH\textsubscript{3}-CH\textsubscript{2}-CH\textsubscript{2}}
 \]

### Mechanism Options:

**a.** Proton transfer
**b.** Lewis acid/base
**c.** Electrophilic addition
**d.** E1 Elimination
**e.** E2 Elimination
**f.** S\textsubscript{N1} Nucleophilic substitution
**g.** S\textsubscript{N2} Nucleophilic substitution

The reactions above involve synthesis or reactions of alcohols and ethers. Identify the mechanism by which they proceed from among the mechanisms listed. 

**Use the letters a-g for your answers.**
