I am really glad I found this board..a lot of old problems have helped me out already!
I used the search...but I could not find anything similar to the following problem.
I am struggling with this:

"For the transition state representation shown, write the equation for
the reaction it represents in the direction for which the equilibrium constant is
greater than one. Label the acid, the base, the conjugate acid, and the
conjugate base, and use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons."


I am really having trouble getting started on this one and would appreciate anyone who could point me in the right direction.

I have been working on this nonstop since I posted this and would really appreciate any insight or help.

What I've come up with so far is:

Cyclopentanol + H     cyclopentane w/positive charge + H2O

I am stuck on how to label the acid, the base, the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base.  Anyone have some understanding?

Thanks in advance
