Classify the reagents shown in bonds in the following equations as nucleophiles or electrophiles. Use curved-arrow notation to show the electron movement.
a. $C H_{3} C O O H + H O^{⊖} \to C H_{3} C O O^{⊖} + H_{2} O$
b. $C H_{3} C O C H_{3} + N C^{⊖} \to C H_{3} C (C N) O H C H_{3}$
c. $C_{6} H_{6} + C H_{3} ⊖ C O \to C_{6} H_{5} C O C H_{3}$
