The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "From \( B_2H_6 \), all the following can be prepared except," we will analyze the possible reactions of diborane (\( B_2H_6 \)) with various reagents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions of \( B_2H_6 \)**: - Diborane can react with water, ammonia, trimethylamine, and sodium hydride. We will evaluate each reaction to see if the products can be formed. 2. **Reaction with Water**: - When \( B_2H_6 \) reacts with water, it undergoes hydrolysis to form boric acid (\( H_3BO_3 \)) and hydrogen gas. - **Equation**: \[ B_2H_6 + 6H_2O \rightarrow 2H_3BO_3 + 6H_2 \] - **Conclusion**: This reaction can produce \( H_3BO_3 \). 3. **Reaction with Ammonia**: - When \( B_2H_6 \) reacts with ammonia (\( NH_3 \)), it forms a complex involving boron and ammonia. - **Equation**: \[ B_2H_6 + 2NH_3 \rightarrow H_2B(NH_3)_2^+ + BH_4^- \] - **Conclusion**: This reaction can produce a boron-ammonia complex. 4. **Reaction with Trimethylamine**: - When \( B_2H_6 \) reacts with trimethylamine (\( (CH_3)_3N \)), the bulky nature of trimethylamine makes it difficult for the reaction to occur. - **Conclusion**: No stable product can be formed due to steric hindrance. This is the option that cannot be prepared. 5. **Reaction with Sodium Hydride**: - When \( B_2H_6 \) reacts with sodium hydride (\( NaH \)), it forms sodium borohydride (\( NaBH_4 \)). - **Equation**: \[ B_2H_6 + 2NaH \rightarrow 2NaBH_4 \] - **Conclusion**: This reaction can produce sodium borohydride. ### Final Answer: From the analysis, the only option that cannot be prepared from \( B_2H_6 \) is the one involving trimethylamine. Therefore, the answer is: **Option 3 cannot be prepared.**
