The correct Answer is:
To determine the products formed when sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) reacts with iodine (I₂), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactants in this reaction are sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) and iodine (I₂). 2. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation**: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sodium borohydride with iodine can be written as: \[ 2 \text{NaBH}_4 + \text{I}_2 \rightarrow \text{B}_2\text{H}_6 + 2 \text{NaI} + \text{H}_2 \] This equation indicates that two moles of sodium borohydride react with one mole of iodine to produce diborane (B₂H₆), sodium iodide (NaI), and hydrogen gas (H₂). 3. **Identify the Products**: From the balanced equation, we can identify the products formed: - Diborane (B₂H₆) - Sodium iodide (NaI) - Hydrogen gas (H₂) 4. **Select the Correct Option**: Now, we need to match the products with the given options: - Option 1: HI, NaI, H₂ (Incorrect) - Option 2: B₂H₆, NaI, HI (Incorrect) - Option 3: B₂H₆, NaI, H₂ (Correct) - Option 4: H₃BO₃, H₂ (Incorrect) The correct answer is Option 3: B₂H₆, NaI, H₂. ### Final Answer: The products formed when 2 moles of NaBH₄ react with I₂ are B₂H₆ (diborane), NaI (sodium iodide), and H₂ (hydrogen gas). ---
