Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The detailed mechanism for the given reaction, with major product, is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The alkynes are electron rich system like alkenes and can undergo electrophilic addition reaction with strong Bronsted acids just like the alkenes do. The reaction proceeds with proton transfer reaction to form a stable carbocation, followed by the action of water as a nucleophile. In excess of reagent, the reaction occurs twice, forming a geminal dihalide compound as a major product.
