A student weighs out 4.66 g of benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) to

A student weighs out 4.66 g of benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) to react with sodium borohydride (NaBH₂) according to the following chemical equation: C6H5CHO + NaBH4 → C6H5CH₂OH To ensure complete consumption of benzaldehyde, 1.5 equivalents of NaBH4 are used. Calculate how many grams of NaBH, are needed. (MW_C6H5CHO = 106.12 g/mol; MW_NaBH4 = 37.83 g/mol)
