The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the reactions involves an acid-base reaction, we can analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Grignard Reagents**: - Grignard reagents have the general formula R-MgX, where R is an alkyl or aryl group, and X is a halogen. - They act as strong bases because they contain a carbon atom with a negative charge (R⁻), which can accept protons (H⁺). 2. **Identifying Acid-Base Reactions**: - An acid-base reaction occurs when a proton (H⁺) is transferred from an acid to a base. - In this context, R⁻ (from Grignard reagents) acts as a base, and any proton donor (like H⁺ from water or acids) acts as an acid. 3. **Analyzing Each Reaction**: - **Reaction A**: - Cyclohexane with CH₂MgCl reacts with water. - CH₂⁻ (from CH₂MgCl) acts as a base and captures a proton (H⁺) from water, which is an acid. - This is an acid-base reaction. - **Reaction B**: - An organolithium reagent (RLi) reacts with HBr in the presence of water. - R⁻ (from RLi) can accept H⁺ from HBr or water, making it a base, while HBr acts as an acid. - This is also an acid-base reaction. - **Reaction C**: - Another Grignard reagent reacts with a deuterated compound (D₂O). - The carbon anion (C⁻) can capture a proton (D⁺) from D₂O, acting as a base, while D₂O acts as an acid. - This is again an acid-base reaction. 4. **Conclusion**: - All the reactions analyzed involve the transfer of protons, confirming that they are acid-base reactions. - Therefore, the answer to the question is that **all of these reactions are acid-base reactions**. ### Final Answer: **All of these reactions are acid-base reactions.**

To determine which of the reactions involves an acid-base reaction, we can analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Grignard Reagents**: - Grignard reagents have the general formula R-MgX, where R is an alkyl or aryl group, and X is a halogen. - They act as strong bases because they contain a carbon atom with a negative charge (R⁻), which can accept protons (H⁺). ...
