A compound \(X\), of boron reacts with \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) on heating to give another compound \(Y\), which is called inorganic benzene. The compound \(X\) can be prepared by treating \(\mathrm{BF}_3\) with lithium aluminium hydride. The compounds \(X\) and \(Y\) are represented by the formulas.

  1. A \(\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6, \mathrm{~B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{~B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{BF}_3, \mathrm{~B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6, \mathrm{~B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6, \mathrm{~B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{BF}_3 \xrightarrow[-\mathrm{LiF},-\mathrm{AlF}_3]{\mathrm{LiAlH}_4} \underset{(X)}{\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6} \xrightarrow[-\mathrm{H}_2]{\mathrm{NH}_3 / \Delta} \underset{(Y)}{\mathrm{B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6}\) \((X) \Rightarrow \mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\)…
