**Please follow the arrows in steps, for instance H+ goes onthe 1st arrow and under that arrow it shows it has broke the thetriple bond. Please show answer this way if possible.

Also is the H+ alone used as a electrophile and Cl is dismissed orare they both electrophiles; or is Cl a nucleophile like H2O...imvery confused on this.

Explanation / Answer

Shouldn't the double bond break and form into a ketone?
