The product of the following reaction H2C=CH-CHO + NaBH4 /H2O is:

H2C=CH-CH2OH

Explanation:

Aldehydes are reduced to primary alcohols.

The first step in the reaction sequence is that the nucleophilic Hydrogen atom in the hydride reagent attacks the electrophilic Carbon in the polar carbonyl group of the aldehyde, there will now be a shift of electrons from the carbonyl to the Oxygen atom creating an intermediate metal alkoxide complex.

The reaction sequence is completed by a simple addition of a proton to the alkoxide oxygen which creates the primary alcohol product from the intermediate complex.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
