Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidizing and reducing agent in the reaction,

Ca(s)+2H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+H2(g), is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation is defined as loss of electrons or the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. Reduction is defined as gain of electrons or removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen. Oxidizing agent is the substance that causes oxidation in the redox reaction. It accepts the transferred electrons. Reducing agent is the substance that causes reduction in the redox reaction. It provides the electrons.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Please answer the question and provide a detailed drawing of the structure. If there will not be a new C – C bond, then the box under the drawing area will be checked.  Will the following reaction make a molecule with a new C – C bond as its major product:  Draw the major organic product or products, if the reaction will work. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
Please do not use AI.  AI cannot "see" the molecules properly, and it therefore gives the wrong answer while giving incorrect descriptions of the visual images we're looking at.  All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
Please answer the question and provide detailed explanations.
