Consider the following reactions (not balanced) \(mathrm{BF}_3+\mathrm{NaH} \xrightarrow{450 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{X}+\mathrm{NaF}\) \(mathrm{X}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Y}+\mathrm{H}_2 \uparrow\)
The correct statements about X and Y are I. X is an electron deficient molecule II. In X, B-B bond is present III. \(Y\) is a weak tribasic acid IV. Y acts as a Lewis acid

  1. A I and IV
  2. B \(\amalg\) and III
  3. C II and IV
  4. D I and III
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) I and IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On balancing the equation (1) Balancing the equation (2) X is \(\mathrm{BH}_3\) which is an electron deficient molecule. Y is \(\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3\) which is lewis acid. \(\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3\) can accept a pair of electron from lewis base.
