Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements
The intermediate product (X) formed in the following reaction is B2H6+6NH3→3X−>[Heat]2B3N3H6+12H2
A
[BH(NH3)3]+[BH4]−
B
[BH2(NH3)4]+[BH4]−
C
[BH(NH3)4]+[BH4]−
D
[BH2(NH3)2]+[BH4]−
Answer
[BH2(NH3)2]+[BH4]−
Explanation
Solution
B2H6 and NH3 react in 1:2 to form borazine, B3N3H6
The intermediate product 'X' is
[BH2(NH3)2]+[BH4]−
3B2H6+6NH3→3[BH2(NH3)2]+[BH4−]
[BH4]−−>[Heat]2B3N3H6+12H2
