Simple Organic Chemistry Question

When the reagents are listed in an organic reaction do we have to pay attention to all the reagents?

For example

1)LiAlH4, Et20
--------------->
2)H30+

I know LiAlH4 is a reducing agent. Do i have to even worry about the Et20 and H30+ or are those just included as conditions for the reaction? Is this reaction dependent? Thanks in advance.

i wouldnt focus too much on memorizing reagents, you most likely wont get a question asking you that, and if you do it will probably be pretty straight forward....jus make sure u are somewhat familiar most reagents, usually if u know that you can reason through the rest (ex if a grinard attacks a caronyl carbon you are probably gonna need acid to protonate the oxygen)

You must pay attention to all of the reagents because it may change the outcome of the product.
