Question

Given the following thermochemical equations,

Equation 1:     4B(s) + 3O2(g) → 2B2O3(s)                         ∆Ho= -2543.8 kJ
Equation 2:     H2 (g) + ½ O2(g) → H2O (g)                        ∆Ho= -241.8 kJ
Equation 3:     B2H6(s) + 3O2(g) → B2O3(s) + 3H2O (g)   ∆Ho= -2032.9 kJ

Which of the following statement/s is/are true in calculating the ∆Ho for the decomposition of B2H6 into its elements? Check all that apply.
