Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
Yes, sodium borohydride is a reducing agent.
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce ketones.
The pKa value of sodium borohydride is approximately 13.
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
No, sodium borohydride does not reduce carboxylic acids.
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
Basic because when sodium borohydride is placed in water, the sodium ion and the borohydride ion split, borohydride abstracts a proton (in the form of H+) from a water molecule.
No, sodium borohydride cannot reduce carboxylic acids.
Sodium borohydride can reduce carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, in chemical reactions.
Yes, sodium borohydride can effectively reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols.
Yes, sodium borohydride is commonly used as a reducing agent to reduce ketones to their respective alcohols.
Sodium borohydride is a common laboratory chemical used as a reducing agent. Its Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) would provide information on its physical and chemical properties, health hazards, safety precautions, and first-aid measures in case of exposure. You can usually find the MSDS for sodium borohydride on the website of the manufacturer or supplier.
