Question

Write equation for reduction of methanal with LiA1H₄.Answer question in brief.

Answer 1

Answer:

Methanol

Explanation:

Lithium aluminium hydride $(LiAlH_{4})$ is the type of the reducing agent. In the presence of  $(LiAlH_{4})$,  the aldehydes and ketones  will be converted into alcohol. The equation for the chemical reaction of methanal in the presence of $(LiAlH_{4})$ in order to form methanol is represented below:

$CH_{2}O + LiAlH_{4}\rightarrow CH_{3}OH$
