The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which compound cannot be prepared from \( B_2H_6 \) (diborane), we will analyze each option provided and determine their feasibility of preparation from diborane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Diborane (\( B_2H_6 \))**: - Diborane is a compound of boron and hydrogen, known for its ability to react with various substances to form different boron-containing compounds. 2. **Option 1: Boric Acid (\( H_3BO_3 \))**: - Diborane can be hydrolyzed to form boric acid: \[ B_2H_6 + 6H_2O \rightarrow 2H_3BO_3 + 6H_2 \] - This reaction shows that boric acid can indeed be prepared from diborane. 3. **Option 2: Boron Trioxide (\( B_2O_3 \))**: - Diborane can also react with oxygen to form boron trioxide: \[ B_2H_6 + 3O_2 \rightarrow B_2O_3 + 3H_2O \] - This indicates that boron trioxide can also be prepared from diborane. 4. **Option 3: \( B_2CH_6 \)**: - The compound \( B_2CH_6 \) does not exist as a stable compound. The reaction of diborane with methanol (\( CH_3OH \)) leads to the formation of trimethyl borate (\( B(OCH_3)_3 \)) and hydrogen: \[ B_2H_6 + 3CH_3OH \rightarrow 2B(OCH_3)_3 + 3H_2 \] - Therefore, \( B_2CH_6 \) cannot be prepared from diborane. 5. **Option 4: Sodium Borohydride (\( NaBH_4 \))**: - Sodium borohydride can be synthesized from diborane by reacting it with sodium hydride: \[ NaH + B_2H_6 \rightarrow NaBH_4 \] - This shows that sodium borohydride can also be prepared from diborane. ### Conclusion: From the analysis above, the compound that cannot be prepared from \( B_2H_6 \) is \( B_2CH_6 \). Thus, the answer is: **Answer: \( B_2CH_6 \)**
