Acidic & basic media

why required acidic medium to sodium cyanoborohydride & basic medium to sodium borohydride in reduction reaction
Question asked by: dsgovare

Asked on: 25 Feb 2011

An acid is something that will donate protons, or H+, whilst an alkali will receive them and has hydroxide or OH- so the two combine to produce water which is neutral of course.
