Please help me how to solve this problem in detail so i can understand it. Thank you very much. Ketones react with sodium acetylide (the sodium salt of acetylene,Na*:C=CH) to give alcohols. For example, the reaction of sodiumacetylide with 2-butanone yields 3-methyl-1-pentyn-3-ol:5-76H3C OH1. Nat-:C=CHH3CCH2CH32. Hзо+CH2CH3HC2-Butanone3-Methyl-1-pentyn-3-ol(a) Is the product chiral?(b) Assuming that the reaction takes place with equal likelihood fromboth Re and Si faces of the carbonyl group, is the product opticallyactive? Explain.

A chiral carbon is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms.
