The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the reaction and determine the oxidation state of the central atom in compound A that is responsible for the green flame. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactants are \( B_3^{3-} \) (boron trianion), concentrated \( H_2SO_4 \) (sulfuric acid), and \( CH_3-CH_2-OH \) (ethanol). 2. **Understand the Reaction**: When \( B_3^{3-} \) reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid and ethanol, it leads to the formation of a compound, which we will denote as compound A. 3. **Determine the Product**: The product formed from this reaction is \( B(C_2H_5O)_3 \). This indicates that boron is bonded to three ethoxy groups (\( C_2H_5O \)). 4. **Identify the Central Atom**: The central atom in compound A is boron (B). 5. **Determine the Oxidation State of Boron**: In the compound \( B(C_2H_5O)_3 \), boron is bonded to three ethoxy groups. Each ethoxy group contributes a -1 charge to the overall charge of boron. Since boron originally has a +3 charge in the \( B_3^{3-} \) state, we can calculate the oxidation state as follows: - The overall charge of the compound must be neutral. - Each \( C_2H_5O \) contributes -1, so three of them contribute -3. - Therefore, the oxidation state of boron must be +3 to balance the -3 from the ethoxy groups. 6. **Conclusion**: The oxidation number of boron in compound A is +3. ### Final Answer: The oxidation number of the central atom (boron) responsible for the green flame in compound A is +3. ---
