Expt 55 Micro: Borohydride Reduction of a Ketone: Hydrobenzoin from Benzil 3. Sodium borohydride can be used in ethanol solutions to rapidly reduce aldehydes and ketones at room temperature. Even though lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) is much more reactive than sodium borohydride (NaBH4) it can’t be used to reduce aldehydes and ketones in ethanol solutions. Explain why not? NOTE: The answer is not the quote from the lab book “Unlike lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride is insoluble in ether and...

Management also believes that the standard deviation is 5,000 miles and that tire mileage is normally distributed. To promote the new tire, Grear has offered to refund some money if the tire fails to reach 30,000 miles before the tire needs to be replaced. Specifically, for tires with a lifetime below 30,000...

Using the above example of beer production, discuss the THREE (3) methods of calculating GDP in this economy assuming that 20 000 kg of barley were produced in 2019
In a hypothetical economy, beer production begins in a farm, where a barley grower produces barley and sells it to the brewer at R 3/kg. The brewer then processes the barley and bottles the beer and sells it to the retailer at R 7/litre. The retailer then sells the bottled beer to the consumer at R 10/litre. Using the above example of beer production, discuss the THREE (3) methods of calculating GDP in this economy assuming that 20 000 kg...
