Chemistry Question on Acids and Bases
B2H6 reacts with (CH3)3N to produce
A
\ceBH3+N−(CH3)3
B
\ceB2H6+N−(CH3)2CH3.BH3
C
\ce(CH3)3N+BH3
D
\ceBH3N+(CH3)2CH3BH3
Answer
\ce(CH3)3N+BH3
Explanation
Solution
When B2H6 reacts with (CH3)3N;
Trimethyl amine2(CH3)3N+ DiboraneB2H6−> Complex2(CH3)3N+BH3
in this reaction trimethyl amine, reacts readily with diborane and form a 2(CH3)3N+BH3 complex.
