(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: A mechanism that involves a hydride shift or an alkyl shift for the given solvolysis reaction and an explanation for each rearrangement that forms a more stable intermediate.

Interpretation: A mechanism that involves a hydride shift or an alkyl shift for the given solvolysis reaction is to be stated with an explanation for each rearrangement that forms a more stable intermediate.

Concept introduction: The structural changes in carbocations are known as rearrangements. It leads to the formation of more stable ions. It is generally seen in ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}1$ reactions. ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ reaction is called substitution nucleophilic unimolecular. The term unimolecular signifies that there is only one molecule involved in the rate determining step of the reaction. This type of reaction is promoted by resonance stabilization.
