d) is the last stage of the haloform reaction. You can look this up.
f) Answer hampered by image size restrictions, but here are the key steps:

e) Ph–C=O–C=O–Ph + ⁻OH → Ph–C=O–C(OH)(O⁻)–Ph → Ph₂C(O⁻)–CO₂H → Ph₂C(OH)–CO₂⁻ which gets protonated to Ph₂C(OH)–CO₂H in the second step.

Image size limitations here are maddening...

Could you possibly use a separate image hosting site? Thanks though for the major assistance.

Hi Sir, you could try using "Imgbb" (I can't type the URL as wyzant takes long to review it)

a) starts with as proton transfer: CH₃CH₂CO₂H + ⁻CH₂–⁺N≡N → CH₃CH₂CO₂⁻ + CH₃–⁺N≡N then the product forms in an SN2 reaction.10/27/23
