Print Calculator Periodic Table Question 10 of 10 Map sapling learning Sodium borohydride and lithium aluminum hydride are two of the most commonly used reducing agents. Match the comments below to the reducing agent by dragging the statements into the appropriate box. If both reducing agents match the statement then drag the statement into the box lableled "True for both hydrides. True for onl True for only lithium aluminum hydride sodium borohydride True for both hydrides Reduces aldehydes to s the least reactive s the safest to use primary alcohols of the two hydrides. Reduces carboxylic acids Reduces esters. Can be used in reactions to primary alcohols with methanol solvent Reduces ketones to secondary alcohols Previous Give Up & View solution Check Answer Next Exit Hint

Explanation / Answer

In the first box

LiAlH4 - can reduces esters,Reducing carboxylic acid to primary alcohol.because NaBH4 will not reduce esters and acids

In the second box

NaBH4-is the safest to use, methanol is used as a solvent,is the least reactive among the two hydrides.because LiAlH4 is very reactive when comes in to contact with water,soluble in etheral solvents. most reactive reagent

In the Third box

Both can reduce aldehyde to primary alcohols and ketone to secondary alcohols
