Question

Borazine, also known as inorganic benzene, can be prepared by the reaction of 3-equivalents of “X” with 6-equivalents of “Y”. “X” and “Y”, respectively are ______.

Options

• B(OH)₃ and NH₃

• B₂H₆ and NH₃

• NH₃ and B₂O₃

Answer 1

Borazine, also known as inorganic benzene, can be prepared by the reaction of 3-equivalents of “X” with 6-equivalents of “Y”. “X” and “Y”, respectively are B₂H₆ and NH₃.

Explanation:

Borazine is prepared by the reaction of B₂H₆ with NH₃

\[\ce{3B2H6 + 6NH3 -> 3[BH6(NH3)2]^{+}[BH4]^{-} ->[Δ] 2B3N3H6 + 12H2}\]
