Question

Solve all parts completely otherwise I will downvote.  

1. Observe the Lewis structure of the nitro-group compared to the ketone (carbonyl). Why do you
think the reductions had different outcomes? Is there any clear difference in reactivity between
the two functional groups? If one functional group is clearly more reactive, why did the stronger
reduction reaction still not react the other functional group?
2. Based on your results, what would the outcome of each of the following reactions be?
Sn
HCl aq.
NO2
NABH,
ethanol
NO2
Sn
HCl aq.
