The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

Sodium borohydride is a relatively selective reducing agent  Ethanolic solutions of Sodium borohydride reduces aldehyde , and ketone , in the presence of acid chloride , ester , epoxide , lactones , acids , nitriles , nitro groups.

The sodium borohydride does not reduce ester group because sodium borohydride is not strong enough and the electrophilicity at carbony carbon of ester is not more as compare toaldehyde , and ketone

The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

Do you think there should be greater restrictions on who can buy explosives or accelerants? Why or why not?
fgiga [73]
In my opinion yes, as of now, almost anyone could get there hands on lets say an explosive. Have you heard of dynamite fishing? It is illegal, but it is still done once people have access to dynamite, then what ends up happening not only do marine wildlife get killed but it pollutes the water and lessens the chance of the natural cycle of life. Also there are several other factors, firstly, what will you do with an explosive once you get your hands on it? Perhaps you could just use an explosive for fun/personal entertainment...that isn't right and it could harm people. So, to conclude the harder it is for people to access explosives or even acclerants the better...and to add this can be possible by making people get like some sort of licence to use them, and let them be trained in certain conditions so that there is no regrets once they have access to them. I know my idea sounds far fetched but its a thought!

A certain process has ΔH° > 0, ΔS° < 0, and ΔG° > 0. The values of ΔH° and ΔS° do not depend on the temperature. Which
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: It is non-spontaneous at all T.

Explanation:

According to Gibb's equation:

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

\Delta G = Gibbs free energy = +ve

\Delta H = enthalpy change  = +ve

\Delta S = entropy change  = -ve

T = temperature in Kelvin

\Delta G= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

\Delta G= -ve, reaction is spontaneous

\Delta G= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Putting in the values:

\Delta G=(+ve)-T(-ve)

\Delta G=(+ve)(+ve)=+ve  

Reaction is non spontaneous at all temperatures.
