LiAlH4 is the stronger reducing agent because...

ions present in LiAlH4 are Li+ and AlH4-

ions present in NaBH4 are Na+ and BH4-

now we know that Li+ is a stronger reducing agent in aq soln...due to its high reducing power..,on a whole we have lithium aluminium hydride to be the stronger reducing agent..!

plz approve if satisfied..!
