AI Generated Solution

To understand how sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) reacts with iodine (I₂), we can break down the reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reactants in this reaction are sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) and iodine (I₂). ### Step 2: Write the Reaction When sodium borohydride reacts with iodine, it forms diborane (B₂H₆), sodium iodide (NaI), and hydrogen gas (H₂). The unbalanced reaction can be written as: \[ \text{NaBH}_4 + \text{I}_2 \rightarrow \text{B}_2\text{H}_6 + \text{NaI} + \text{H}_2 \] ...
