Question

what happens when - give balanced chemical equation BCl3 reacts LiAlH4

Answer 1

4BCl3 + 3LiAlH4 gives 2B2H6 + 3LiCl +3AlCl3

Answer 2

Answer : The chemical reaction is given below.

Explanation :

The reaction of boron chloride with lithium aluminium hydride follows the equation :

$4BCl_3+3LiAlH_4\rightarrow 2B_2H_6+3LiCl+3AlCl_3$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction :

4 moles of boron chloride react with 3 moles of lithium aluminium hydride to give 2 moles of borane, 3 moles of lithium chloride and 3 moles of aluminium chloride.
