Question
Diborane (B2H6) reacts independently with O2 and H2O to produce, respectively:B2O3 and H3BO3B2O3 and [BH4]−H3BO3 and B2O3HBO2 and H3BO3
Solution
The reaction of Diborane (B2H6) with Oxygen (O2) and Water (H2O) respectively produces B2O3 and H3BO3. So, the correct answer is "B2O3 and H3BO3".
Here are the reactions:
-
Diborane with Oxygen: B2H6 + 3O2 → B2O3 + 3H2O
-
Diborane with Water: B2H6 + 6H2O → 2H3BO3 + 3H2
