Write balanced equations for the following reactions and name the main

1.	Write balanced equations for the following reactions and name the main product formed in each case,(i) NaBH4 + I2 →(ii) B2H6 + NaH →(iii) BF3 + LiH \(\overset{450\,K}{\longrightarrow}\)(iv) SiCl4 + H2O →
Answer» (i) 2NaBH₄ + I₂ → 2NaI + H₂ + B₂H₆ (Diborane) (ii) B₂H₆ + 2NaH → 2NaBH₄ (sodium borohydride) (iii) 2BF₃ + 6LiH → 6LiF + B₂H₆ (Diborane) (iv) SiCl₄ + 2H₂O → 4HCl + Si(OH)₄ (Silicicacid)

Write balanced equations for the following reactions and name the main product formed in each case,(i) NaBH4 + I2 →(ii) B2H6 + NaH →(iii) BF3 + LiH \(\overset{450\,K}{\longrightarrow}\)(iv) SiCl4 + H2O →

Answer»

(i) 2NaBH₄ + I₂ → 2NaI + H₂ + B₂H₆ (Diborane)

(ii) B₂H₆ + 2NaH → 2NaBH₄ (sodium borohydride)

(iii) 2BF₃ + 6LiH → 6LiF + B₂H₆ (Diborane)

(iv) SiCl₄ + 2H₂O → 4HCl + Si(OH)₄ (Silicicacid)
