Question

Diborane (B2H6) reacts independently with O2 and H2O to produce, respectively (A) HBO2 and H3BO3 (B)  H3BO3 and B2O3  (C) B2O3 and H3BO3 (D) B2O3 and [BH4]-

B 2 H 6+3 H 2 O longrightarrow 2 H 3 BO 3+3 H 2 B 2 H 6+3O2 longrightarrow B 2 O 3+3 H 2 O

Q. Diborane $(B_{2} H_{6})$ reacts independently with $O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ to produce, respectively

$H B O_{2}$ and $H_{3} B O_{3}$

$H_{3} B O_{3}$ and $B_{2} O_{3}$

$B_{2} O_{3}$ and $H_{3} B O_{3}$

$B_{2} O_{3}$ and $[B H_{4}]^{-}$

$B_{2} H_{6} + 3 H_{2} O ⟶ 2 H_{3} B O_{3} + 3 H_{2}$
$B_{2} H_{6} + 3 O_{2} ⟶ B_{2} O_{3} + 3 H_{2} O$
