Which carbocation formed from CH₃CH₂CH(Cl)CH₃ via heterolytic cleavage is stabilized by hyperconjugation after a possibl

Cleavage at C-Cl forms CH₃CH₂CH⁺CH₃ (secondary). Hyperconjugation with adjacent C-H bonds stabilizes it.

Which carbon in CH₃CH₂C(=O)CH₂CH₃ is most stabilized by the hyperconjugation effect if it forms a carbocation?

In CH₃CH₂C(=O)CH₂CH₃, the carbon in CH₂ adjacent to C=O (second carbon) forms CH₃CH⁺CH₂C(=O)CH₃, stabilized by hyperconjugation from CH₃.
