What would be the products if a triglyceride was treated with a lithium aluminum hydride? Would it make a good detergent?
Sodium borohydride is normally produced by the reaction of sodium hydride with trimethyl borate according to the following equation. NaH + B(OCH3)3 ® NaBH4 + NaOCH3 a) Balance the above equation. Be sure to get this correct since your answer to part (b) depends on your correct balancing of the equation. b) If 18.3 g of NaH are reacted with 18.5 g of B(OCH3)3, what is the maximum mass of NaBH4 that can be produced?
