Question:

Which of the following reactions give $\mathrm{H_2}$ as one of the products? (Reactions are not balanced.)
  • $\mathrm{NaBH_4 + I_2}$
  • $\mathrm{B_2H_6 + N(CH_3)_3}$
  • $\mathrm{Al + NaOH + H_2O}$
  • $\mathrm{BF_3 + NaH}$

Show Hint

Look for redox reactions or metal-water-type reactions to identify \(\mathrm{H_2}\) evolution.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let’s evaluate each: - I. \(\mathrm{NaBH_4 + I_2 \rightarrow}\): Produces \(\mathrm{H_2}\) - II. \(\mathrm{B_2H_6 + N(CH_3)_3}\): Lewis acid-base reaction, no \(\mathrm{H_2}\) - III. \(\mathrm{Al + NaOH + H_2O \rightarrow NaAlO_2 + H_2}\) - IV. \(\mathrm{BF_3 + NaH}\): Forms \(\mathrm{Na[BF_4]}\), no \(\mathrm{H_2}\) Only I and III produce hydrogen gas.
