Borazine, also known as inorganic benzene, can be prepared by the reaction of 3-equivalents of "X" with 6-equivalents of "Y". "X" and "Y", respectively are:
  1. (A)B(OH)₃ and NH₃
  2. (B)B₂H₆ and NH₃✓ Correct
  3. (C)B₂H₆ and HN₃
  4. (D)NH₃ and B₂O₃

Answer: (B)

Solution

Borazine (B₃N₃H₆), also called inorganic benzene, is prepared by heating diborane (B₂H₆) with ammonia (NH₃):



Thus, X = B₂H₆ and Y = NH₃.

Answer: (B) B₂H₆ and NH₃.
