  4. DWhat is the term for the catalytic process when reactants and the catalyst are in different phases?

Correct answer

D. What is the term for the catalytic process when reactants and the catalyst are in different phases?

Step-by-step solution

Tertiary carbocations are stable due to +I+\mathrm{I} effect of alkyl groups and hyperconjugation. Tertiary carbocation has greater number of alpha H\mathrm{H} in comparison to secondary carbocation. This increases hyperconjugation which results to its greater stability. Related Theory A carbocation will be destabilized by an electron withdrawing group.
