**4. In this reaction, we are actually measuring the rate of formation of the carbocation intermediate (the slow step). It would be possible for the carbocation to proceed to a product other than the alcohol discussed in the Experimental write-up without changing our kinetics calculation. Write the structure of another other organic products that might be produced from the carbocation intermediate in this reaction. (Consider possible reactions available to carbocations (loss of proton to base; reaction with a nucleophile other than water present in reaction mixture).**

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The image contains two chemical structures showing the transformation involving a carbocation intermediate.
  
1. **First Structure:**
   - Contains a benzene ring attached to a carbon.
   - The carbon has a hydrogen atom, a methyl group (CH₃), and a positive charge.

2. **Second Structure:**
   - Similar to the first, but the positive charge on carbon is replaced by a bond to an oxygen atom with a single pair of electrons.
   - The oxygen is likely part of an ethoxide ion, represented by the adjacent overhead arrow with OH.

The diagram implies a reaction pathway where the initial carbocation is formed, followed by its interaction with another species (in this case, OH) to form a stabilized organic product.
