We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.
A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.5 M
Explanation : Given,
Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 266 g
Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 236.15 g/mole
Volume of solution = 
Molarity : It is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of solution.
Formula used :
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:
As calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissociate to give 1 mole of calcium ion, 2 moles of nitrate ion and 4 moles of water.
The concentration of nitrate ion = 
Thus, the concentration of nitrate ion is, 22.5 M
a) synthesis- or combination- reaction
Answer : Methanal also known as Formaldehyde 
is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.
Explanation :
In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).
If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.
Here are some functional groups naming according to the<em> IUPAC</em> rules and image also attached,
Carboxylic acid → (RCOOH) → ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )
Aldehyde → (RCOH) → ( name end in 'AL' )
Ketone → (RCOR') → ( name end in 'ONE' )
Ester → (RCOOR') → ( name end in 'ATE' )
Amide → (RCONR'R") → ( name end in 'AMIDE' )
In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.
Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.
