Discuss the following observations:

(a) The alkene Ph₂C = CH₂ forms a conducting solution in liquid HCl; when such a solution is titrated conductometrically with a solution of BCl₃ in liquid HCl, a sharp end-point is reached when the molar ratio of Ph₂C = CH₂ : BCl₃ is 1 : 1.

(b) The following reaction can be described as a neutralization. Explain why this is, identify compound A, and determine x.
