Answer #1

Camphor have 1 ketone (-C=O) bond in it , so we can say 1 camphor = 1 ketone molecule .

As 1 mole of NaBH4 reduces = 4 ketone moles

Them 0.0150 mol used should reduce = 0.0150×4 = 0.06 mol of ketone .

And thus theoretically , 0.06 moles of Camphor should be reduced by the used (0.0150 moles) of NaBH4 .
