Expert Solution
Step 1: Reaction 1

The reaction is:

    Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The intermediate formed in the reaction mechanism is a carbocation. Organic molecules when treated with an acid results in the formation of a carbocation. Here HBr is acid.

The mechanism is:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 2

The cleavage takes place such that the formed carbocation is more stable. If the cleave takes place between the straight branch carbon and oxygen atom then a primary carbocation is formed which is less stable compared to secondary carbocation which is formed in the above mechanism.

The next important reaction intermediate is Secondary carbocation.

The intermediate is:
