A Lewis acid ' \(X\) ' reacts with \(\mathrm{LiAlH}_{4}\) in ether medium to give a highly toxic gas. This gas when heated with \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) gives a compound commonly known as inorganic benzene. The gas is
- A \(\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\)
- B \(\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\)
- C \(\mathrm{B}_{3} \mathrm{~N}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6}\)
- D \(\mathrm{BF}_{3}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

So, the toxic gas is diborane.
