Question 1
Which catalyst is used to convert carboxylic acid into alcohol?
  • \(\text{NaBH}_4\)
  • \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\)
  • \(\text{LiAlH}_4\)✔️
  • None
Correct Answer Explanation
\(\text{LiAlH}_4\) (lithium aluminium hydride) is a strong reducing agent that reduces carboxylic acids to primary alcohols. \(\text{NaBH}_4\) is too mild for this purpose.
