The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the products formed from the reaction of sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) with iodine (I₂) in the presence of polyether, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Reactants The reactants in the reaction are: - Sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) - Iodine (I₂) - Polyether (which acts as a solvent) ### Step 2: Identify the Reaction When sodium borohydride reacts with iodine, it undergoes a redox reaction. Sodium borohydride acts as a reducing agent, while iodine acts as an oxidizing agent. ### Step 3: Determine the Products The products formed from this reaction are: - Diborane (B₂H₆) - Sodium iodide (NaI) - Hydrogen gas (H₂) ### Step 4: Write the Balanced Chemical Equation The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: \[ 2 \text{NaBH}_4 + \text{I}_2 \rightarrow \text{B}_2\text{H}_6 + 2 \text{NaI} + \text{H}_2 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Oxidation States In sodium borohydride (NaBH₄), the oxidation state of boron is -4. In diborane (B₂H₆), the oxidation state of boron is -3. This indicates that boron is oxidized, confirming that iodine is acting as an oxidizing agent. ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the products formed from the reaction of 2 NaBH₄ with I₂ in the presence of polyether are: - Diborane (B₂H₆) - Sodium iodide (NaI) - Hydrogen gas (H₂) ### Final Answer The correct products formed are B₂H₆, NaI, and H₂. ---
